India tour of Ireland and England - 2018

Really? I'm predicting an Indian series win.

We live in hope, but winning away is beyond a lot of test teams nowadays

True, but this series was a lot closer than the final scoreline suggests. It was played in ideal conditions for England's bowlers, only Kohli was able to adapt until the final test and India's pace bowling attack is going to test whoever Australia manages to patch together for a top order. On our usual flat pitches, this will be a close series.

India will score plenty of runs on our decks so unlike in england it's about taking 20 wickets but they actually have a solid pace attack this time and are facing the weakest batting we have had in decades, they aren't huge favorites or anything but this has to be their best shot in a long long time.

Are Smith and Warner definitely out? Or will they allowed back in as some perverted "redemption" story?

I agree. They have decent bowlers for sure. The series just gone in England, most of the tests were live for most of each test's duration if that makes sense. Good series to follow and the scoreline flatters England.
