There haven't been too many Tests in India - period - lately. But of the last six, two were won by the team batting first, two by the team batting second, and two were drawn.

2005 8 Tests, 6 at home
2006 12 Tests, 3 at home
2007 10 Tests, 3 at home
2008 15 Tests, 9 at home
2009 6 Tests, 3 at home
Year by year...
2005 8 Tests, 6 at home
2006 12 Tests, 3 at home
2007 10 Tests, 3 at home
2008 15 Tests, 9 at home
2009 6 Tests, 3 at home

Yeah, but looking up figures about cricket was much more interesting than work.

Sounds about right. They had a big year in 2008 - 7 v Aus, 3 v SAf, 3 v SL and 2 v Eng.
Not a minnow to be seen.
