India has even-money chance of beating England on their home turf, feels Ian Chappell
India TV NewsThe legendary Ian Chappell feels India has an "even-money chance" of beating England in their own backyard in the upcoming five-match Test series owing to a formidable pace-bowling unit. He says India, notwithstanding, their loss in the final of the World Test Championship final to New Zealand, has become a "pace-bowling proficient" team in recent years, joining the likes of the West Indies and Australian sides of the past. "New Zealand's well-deserved win in the World Test Championship final highlighted an accepted adage in cricket: fast bowling rules," Chappell said. Chappell pointed out that the results achieved by the current New Zealand team is even better than the legendary West Indies outfit under Clive Lloyd, which was largely made possible by the Kiwi pace attack.
