Nottingham: India's happy hunting ground
Nottingham: As Team India prepare to bounce back against hosts England in the four-Test series, they could not have asked for a better venue than Nottingham to plot their revival.
Of the four Tests they have played at Trentbridge, India have won one, lost one and drawn two. In fact, it was their win at this very venue in 2007 that helped them win the series 1-0. What will also come as a shot in the arm for the team is the fact that England last beat them here in a Test match in 1959.
