decide position rather umpire umpires
I think this the umpire who decide any one out or not out rather the umpires are in better position to answer.
deciding looks tomorrow toss win
I will have to see how the wicket looks tomorrow before deciding what to do (If I win the toss), but I don't think the toss would make much of a difference.
areas ball both innings quality
I think the way Asif bowled with the new ball in both innings was quality stuff. He put the ball in the right areas and used the seam beautifully.

We're playing some good cricket and everyone in the team is contributing. We ran away with this one.

We've faced a few (fast) bowlers, so it's nice to have someone who can give it back.

We thought we would give England a bit of a scare.

Having batted here before I knew at 60-70 it gets really hard to concentrate.

We played him in the middle order against South Africa with some success. We have a lot of options, but we will see as the series progresses.

best proved
He proved he is the best all-rounder in the world at the moment.

I don't think these things are related too much for international sportsmen. What happened last week should be forgotten.
wickets
The idea is to get a combination that can take 20 wickets in the match.
advantage exist home huge india plan playing teams tours
The huge advantage India used to have playing at home probably does not exist anymore. Most teams plan their tours well these days.
