This was our best opportunity to win the series. With India having 5 debutant, no Kohli, key players missing and proper pitches. But it wasn't the case
Keep thinking that.....WE SHOULD HAVE WON 5-0. DEAL WITH IT
India should have won 5-0, if they played Sarfaraz and Jurel from Hyderabad over Bharat and Patidar.
@@rajeevkaushek7370 After getting a lead of 190, you can't blame Patidar or Bharat. Pope's dropped catches cost us. In fact, both of them did contribute a little in that match. It's after that match, both started being crap.
@@PankajKumar6493agreed 💯💯 India Should Play Kuldeep Insted Overrated Axar in first test👍👍👍
England can't win outside England. Pitches were not the case from the start. Always whining about Pitches, DRS, Umpires Call won't win you the Test Match.
In India, bazball is a convenient excuse/cover to hide
a) incompetence of defensive skills
b) application against spin
c) not respecting / liking subcontinent conditions
d) arrogance.
It’s been a half hearted attempt to play spin.
You literally wrote my words, very well put. This is the harsh reality.
@@mr.x2870 and his front foot defense is where most players take stance. He's bound to get struck in front or get bowled. If only they had actually prepared instead of playing golf hahah
@@rudrap9556 Bro, I literally mentioned that in my comment separately(not on this thread), scroll to find my comment. I called the pun-dit on his bs twice- him praising Bairstow's streaky 29 and praising Bashir for not getting hit for another monstrous six and then celebrating as if he got Jaiswal on the first ball of his spell lol
There's thin line between confidence and arrogance
Eng are a good limited over side.. ignoring the 23 ODI world cup. Maybe they can extend the limited over batting skill to longer periods on benign flat conditions (at home) or against toothless bowling. Here they did well for 20-40 over stretches with the bat at various stages of each test. This may look flashy/entertaining but will seldom win you a test match over 4-5 days. They also just completely ignore the bowling department. Its all about their batting. Eng bowlers looked effective in the early part of the series because of the nervous unsettled inexperienced Indian batters. Also, first test was a fluke innings by Pope with a lot of dropped catches. India just took it for granted and lost the first test very poorly (though they did come close to salvaging it).
Considering that the margin of victory in that first test was only 28 runs , 4-1 looks flattering , should have been 5-0 - India ended up managing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Pope survived 75 false shots during his 196.
Not sustainable.
It was a once in a blue moon turnaround.... Truth is BAZBALL destroyed joe roots the best player of world's game
Imagine having Pujara and Rahane against this inexperienced yet impactful spin attack, could have been 5-0. India could have easily won the first match if anyone of these above mentioned senior players played in the first match.
But the way Juniors stepped up after that first match was just admirable. Anyways it has become very evident that Team India always loses first match in the series and go on to win the series in an astonishing way.
@@vamsikrishna5468That is your answer to all the Indian fans for the ICC test championship finals that India have lost, India is test series always starts slow so the finals of the ICC test championship was going to be difficult. Same in the test series victories in Australia the Indian team started really badly and then came the turnaround!! That is why taking away the one game finals the Indian cricket team has been very skillful in test cricket and the most consistent even in overseas conditions.Very envious of your team and it's young talent. Regards from Pakistan.
Indians are good host, respect to the touring side
From 175/3,when Joe Root and Johney Bairstow batting 🏏 well against Kuldeep Yadav and Ravi Ashwin spin bowling.But then collapsed in 218.England loose 7 wickets in just 43 runs.😢🏴
Too many players are being far too aggressive…there’s *5* days!
The bowlers just go out there to whack it stupidly. Its not their job to get the runs but if they can bat slow and add 30 to the score its valuable
@@tamasg538
And yes, more time on pitch, more frustrated opposition.
And more difficult batting for opposition when they come for batting; when they fielded for long time.
Make them sweat for every wicket even when you are not making much run.
10 runs from 70 balls in cricket is SOMETIMES better than 12 runs from 20 balls; because during that time another possible in form batsman with you might be making some more runs.
But once team got all out early, then you are giving ample time to opposition for batting.
English fans , team , media were crying about pitches before the series was even started but in all tests india provided best pitch for England and yet they lost .
And played with a big handicap (without Emperor Kohli) 😅😅😅
Now they will say they lost because of good pitches

Cricket have no fans in England😢
In England no one care about cricket
Same old England, pathetic to lose 4-1 against a reserve India side
Correct. If it does end up 4-1, it’s a commendable effort given the depleted eleven India had to send out, not just in one or two tests, but in every test. Ok they still had home advantage and all that. Conversely, had England had the same problems and had to field a comparable eleven with like for like absentees, the excuses would already be flying around that the scoreline was no surprise but England missed a trick by not ramming home the advantage they had at various stages throughout this test series where they looked like they were on top or getting on top of a match situation.
@@RsR6969 There is no second fiddle team in international matches and the fact of playing at home shouldn't be another excuse. Remember the 2020-21 Ind-Aus series, where India actually used the bowlers sent for Net Practice and won Gabba Test and also conquered MCG on boxing day that too after 36/9 humiliation, if that Indian team can beat Aus in Australia (which Eng has not done since a decade, forget series they hardly won a test) than the excuse of having home advantage shouldn't be used any more.
@@sarthakbhalerao1045 And that’s why I said it’s a commendable effort and shows the depth India possess. If nothing else new comes out of this series, it is that the next generation of India test cricketers are going to breathing down the necks of messrs Kohli, Rahul, Jadeja and the rest who were injured / unavailable at various times of this series to take their places. India are in a healthier state than a lot of test nations with the next crop of players.
It's the best Indian side played in last 10 years. Jaiswal makes difference.
@@shreelaxmitradingcompany3110 nah indian batting is very weak without virat
Stokes totally failed as Batsman, the unfortunate clutch master.... Highlight that tooo
Clutch master????? Apart from that headingly freakish knock he has nothing much to show, even on good India batting track he has looked clueless against spin bowling, fast bowling.
The issue is that we have different parameters for judging players, for Asian players it's something different as compared to foreign players.
@@sumbdi they call him like that
He needs to bowl to understand what is happening on the wicket. Will help with captaincy
@@UNKNOWN-hb8pu let them call, but don't understand why we Asians rate him highly and we tend to defend stokes in any matter and we criticise our players even after performing well.
So that's what i am trying to say criteria is different for foreign players as compared to Asian players.
@@sumbdi bro made 90 in wc 2019 final bro wom eng 2022 t20 world cup final with not out
This is sage advice from Nasser. The Bazball philosophy (and I cringe when saying that phrase, so often is it used as a catch-all for optimism over tactics) is not just to hit and hope. Bazball as I understand it is about finding confidence to play your game and not be frightened of form or your opposition. Players are given the freedom to fail, in order to find inner mechanics to improve and succeed. The problem is that too many of the players here believe that "taking pressure back to the opposition" means trying to hit world class bowlers out of the attack early. Some of the shots are absurd - you wouldn't play them in any format because of the risk. The 'counter attacking and counter-punching' of Bairstow is particularly irritating - what is wrong with batting for time? Wearing down bowlers, trying to use the time available? We bat so quickly, we lose so many wickets, that our bowlers never get a rest.
That's alot of words when all they're trying to do is play like Australia.
Well spoken.
@@ross4970
Australia have never played Afridiball.
Reserve bazball for USA .
@@dragonballfanscantread2383 afridiballs? Yeahh better they didn't played that ball else would have been manu ducks in there careers
We are the boss of bilateral series...I said before this series that bazball would not click here in India....

@@abhinavsudhakaran15 on the day ,,whoever bowling well they try to attack him

Surprised that nobody is talking about using 5 bowlers in the lineup. Picking 20 wickets in a test match wins you matches 9/10 times. Specially against this Indian batting lineup, you should be using 5 bowlers, with Root being the 6th bowling option.
The current team is behaving like they came here and conquered during the 1st test, while yes, it was a great 3rd inning masquerade but they won by just 28 runs, then went on to lose all 3 tests by huge margin.
I like the term masquerade, cause that’s what Pope’s hundred was, he’s still a crappy player
This isn't the first time oppositions collapsed in India
Something people need to accept It's India it's going to spin just like bounce is normal in aus and swing is normal in English condition
Very well said by Nas. You can't hide behind bazball and "we're saving test cricket" BS. Playing bazball doesn't mean you're above criticism.
The most embarrassing fact is that India were missing some World Class players and we were nowhere near them.
Kuldeep Yadav and Ashwin broke Bazball batting might of England, Zack Crawley wicket of Kuldeep was highlight of the innings, England from 100/2 got all out to 218, on a good batting wicket which will get difficult as test match progress and squandered first batting advantage.
This same England team playing old fashioned Test cricket would be at 2-2 at least before the final Test. Bazball didn't work and they didn't have a plan B.
Bazball might have done well Individually but as a Team,England is struggling,even in England
Stokes/McCullum have been the most successful for England for a while though....
Nah eng cld only win test series against sa and nz at home ..drew ashes at home and won away in Pak and Sri ..but winning series either in Ind and aus is the true hallmark of a great test team ..which is why I thnk the 2009 to 2012 England team was the best test team in a while now coz they won series in aus and Ind in a span of 2 years ..this team doesn’t have that quality ..
This was a great chance to win a series in India. England were on a high, batsmen good nick and spirited, ahead on tactical intent.... but looks like Bazball became an unnecessary distraction. Plain old cricket would've got them rewards.
Bazball = bunch of limited over hacks masquerading as test players to hide empty English cupboard low on quality test players.
Pointless batting Foakes so low as he's not a smasher of the ball so pointless playing with the tail, he should switch with Bairstow especially if Jonny is gonna play like that
Good point
It’s not about bazball, it’s form of the player dictates the Bazball as it was pointed by Rahul dravid during last series where India came back to complete series mind you it’s a long series😂. Middle order batting can’t match Top order batting.
Monty panesar prediction:england win 5 to nil😂😂😂😂😂
Monty is a joke 😂😂
All that golf practice instead of cricket practice doesn't seem to be helping much. The level of BS, arrogance and bragging is phenomenal, especially when you consider that England are second to bottom in the world test championship and were an embarrassing flop in the world cup. Still, on the bright side I'm sure those golf handicaps are better than ever. That's what they are paid for I presume.
Blame it on 'new way of thinking'...or rather 'thinking' indeed
Yeah instead of taking the time to practice between matches let's take a vacation to Dubai to relax 😂😂😂😂
No one is talking about Stokes poor form, which I think is the main reason
Naser thinks 2-2 everyone thinks 4-0 if not of bad fielding and dropping 2 dollies of pope in hyderabad and Pope's luck that was just a lucky innings he is not batsmen with substance only Crawley, root look good in England side ducket pope are hit and miss players depend more on luck india should close atleast 4-1 with decent 1st innings start england 218/10 india 135/1 they can get 330-350 minimum with 9 wkts in hand play tomorrow 45mins with just 1 or 2 wkts india can dominate this test .
Root only one innings and pope also
ENG should have been hammered 5-0 I cannot understand how india lost the first test
Ollie Pope 1 Innings of 196
And Hartley surprised everyone
No kuldeep in first test
All replies to your comment is just crap. Just 4th innings pitch turned significantly compared to especially the 3rd innings of that game.
@@DL-zq5ie then what happened to hartly after that
Keep hiding behind Bazball. Utter nonsense. Sack your captain who cannot adapt.
Eng haven't walked the talk ...too much chatter. India were calm and consistent with Rohit & India getting better with every game. Result is gonna be 4 -1 surely
High time eng chucked out stokes n Johny sins😂
Can't agree more
They both average 36 in tests. Let them stay at least for the ashes in Oz.
India - not at full strength, are simply playing test cricket and each ball on its merit. Call me old fashioned but that's what England should be doing; sod 'Bazball' or any other buzzword that people want to hide behind by way of 'tactics'! How much more pain must we, as England fans, be subject to with this blasé approach to test cricket? If you didn't know better you'd think, looking at the scoring/results, that it was India who was playing Bazball....
How much more pain 😂 We won 1 in 14 before Stokes took over captaincy, that was a period of pain not this. We’ve been thrashed by a much better team in their home conditions, it’s not as embarrassing as everyone’s making out
@@willrlufc Well , no matter how much you Defend this Bazball term , the point is you need skills to play spin in Sub Continent Conditions . That's why the English Test Team of 2012 were able to win India because the players back then had Skill Sets to tackle Spin On Indian Pitches
@@rishitripathy9025 No one has ever mentioned the term Bazball more than Indian fans this tour honestly. I’m not defending the results of this England team I’m just saying to the original poster that he’s got a short memory of how bad it was a few years ago for English test cricket.
This England team isn’t good enough to go to India and win a series, we all knew that and it’s happened so I’m saying there’s nothing wrong with being beaten by a better team. Yes England could have played a few situations better but how many wickets today were as a result of overly attacking play? They just aren’t quite good enough against this Indian side there’s nothing wrong with that. There will be times that India go on tours and won’t be good enough to beat other top teams too it happens. You don’t scrap the whole idea you have been working towards because of one bad tour though
And since he's taken over he has steered to second from bottom of the world test rankings (stats or not, we weren't languishing there...). Just look at what has happened here. It is called 'failure'.
@@willrlufc
Atleast England teams of past could win an Ashes series at home😂
England have 1 class batsman in Root, and the rest are block/bash merchants. Some days they came off but against any decent test team, they'll fail more often. But Bazz and Stokes allows them to fail without any repercussions, so they keep playing in a fashion that will not succeed at test level.
And I think that’s a consequence of the Blast, Hundred and other shorter format mentality that clutter England batsmen’s mindsets these days. Go back 10-15 years, they had the likes of Cook, Strauss, Bell, Trott, Pietersen who knew how to build an innings, bat long and bat big and grind the opposition bowlers into the dirt. You may see only one of those rarely now who qualifies for England. Root is a dying breed and perhaps the last of his kind.
Crawley improved a lot but the rest are very poor indeed, I think foakes is a better middle order batsman than Barstow also.
England's 3 to 6 have been very poor apart from a couple of innings from Pope and Root. The openers have made enough good starts to build on, but only a couple of times have the middle order done that.
Need potential to do that which is unfortunately not available
In the third test Stokes made Wood bowl bouncers at exactly the time that it would have reversed. In *both* innings! The whole series he's decided to bat off the back foot....and then all of english cricket seems to join hands to say the ball kept low, when he should just have been forward.
All right, so he might be inspirational, but he's not the sharpest.
I know english fans and commentators will never bring it up. But the skipper has to be held accountable for some very daft cricket
Players in the team playing on past reputations and being picked in the hope they will.come good and it.has not happened
Eng 218/10
IND 135/1
Day One Finished 🤘
England media and the english team is utterly delusional
Bazball is great when it works, which isnt often, but its terrible when it doesnt.
Its a Test Match, what is the great rush? Are they trying to get done, so they can have extra days off?
Please start batting like its a Test Match, not like its a One Day International.
I was surprised with the aggression of Bashir 😂😅.
Dude was getting hammered. It was a sign of trauma
Rubbish it was
What did he done ?
dude was agressively celebrating afer jaiswal's wicket. tbh, I would do the same if i was Shoib. If jaiwal stayed half an hour more in the crease, the alien looking off spiner's avg would have looked like a avg of a finger spinner in south africa. It was relief more than an sense of achievement. @@QcR9
Truth sometimes is strange. Well said
Poor cricket from the English side. Now I just wanna see Anderson get to his 700.
None of the English players have picked kuldeep from the hand... They're trying to play him from the pitch which is very difficult
Bazball doesnt work when the ball doesnt come onto the bat easily. You cannot just play your shots in such a situation especially against a deadly spin attack. You have to trust your defense and gather runs gradually.
England - Bazzball means being positive at all times and play fearless and positive.
India🗿-True meaning of Bazzball is Bat and score as fast as you can while losing wickets at lighting ⚡ speed
🤣🤣RIP BAZZBALL
You always rue about missed opportunities whenever there is a batting collapse due to excellent bowling of Indian bowlers. But when Indian batting collapsed you say England bowlers crushed India by their magnificent bowling. It can't be both!
The best part is india lost toss in most matches and that was a big advantage for England to win the series because first inning is best time to bat but they threw it every time
Barring Root no English batter in top six average more than 40 in test matches, all of them played some great knocks but still having averages in low to mid thirties suggest they are simply not consistent enough.
Ben Duckett averages more than 40
Ben duckett averages 42, Harry brook averages 60 … ?
They took Root out of the first three games, forcing him to play with the aggressive bazball formula, when he finally came back to his original style, it was just like before, Root plays and everyone else falls around him!!
Everytime for england they are almost 120+ for 1 wicket and it seems like they would do 400+, then a collapse comes and they get allout for 220 and most of them throw their wicket by plqying bad shots or playing sweeps
Stokes struggling against kuldeep was one of the turning point of this series
JAZZBALL is killing BAZBALL
Back to drawing board!! They need to find a proper balance, throwing Test matches away is not entertaining. The last two series against top teams has found us out……losing probably 6 of the last 10 Tests is not entertaining!!
And the next generation of England test batsmen can only do that by learning their trade in the 4 day game. But given that the bulk of those fixtures are crammed into April, early May and late September, there seems to be less importance placed on that domestic first class format. The best of the English summer conditions are reserved for a diet of Blast or Hundred cricket. Young aspiring English test cricketers ain’t gonna develop their longer form techniques in those shorter formats that take up the bulk of the domestic season.
Did you find it entertaining when we played for draws under Root and won 1 out of his last 14 games against worse sides than India? People are so reactionary, we’ve been thrashed by a much better team in their home conditions, there’s no shame in that
@@RsR6969 agree, the ECB are blinkered and seem intent on chasing the money to the detriment of the future of the game..
India is number one team mate @@willrlufc
Some of us are highly entertained by all the 'moral victories' AKA losses.
Stokes, Key and Brendon are thick, doing the same, inept shots time and again. They're so collectively dense to not twig it's easy to pick up wickets. The wheels have finally come off Bazball. Bin this lot and it and go back to basics. It's called 'Test cricket' for a reason
Maybe the highway pitches of Pakistan has somehow infected their batting mindset in Subcontinent conditions.
England desparately need someone like Thorpe to hold the innings in the middle. ❤
Thorpe was such a great batsman. England are showing why test cricket requires batters like him.
Nothing beats an 8 hour grind at the crease, alaistair cook’s long innings, huge daddy hundreds, double hundreds cant be replicated by excitement of bazball
strange no change in battter s ..iam sure England has batsman who can play at highest level.. don't forget all their success has come against or flat wickets..both bairstow and stokes can play as all rounders but not specialist batsman . moreover pope was dropped twice before 196 and he had nothing to lose
I would say England saved some face thanks to accidental innings from Ollie Pope where India made lot of fielding mistakes. Else this would be 5-0 series.
One clear aspect of this England test team is they cannot come out of situation once Plan A fails. The opponent just needs to not get trapped in Plan A and then opponent can dominate this team.
many teams have tried such an aggresive approach in the past , even the west indies team of the past. however its not easy to sustain it match after match, series after series even with the best of players around . even aus teams of the past tried similar things in the past particularly in the 2001 series in india . later on even they adopted a more rational approach .
Just one thing to england team. You have got more than enough time in hand. Dont rush and throw away the game.
In test matches using time and patience also are key for success
I still think this all started in the summer , the occassion against Australia always takes over what is happening on the pitch. There was some bad bad cricket played by both sides in certain sessions but because we got back from 0-2 down to draw the series it was hailed as a victory Going to India is totally different , you HAVE to get your head down at certain points of the game, we have lost the art of doing that , the game lasts 5 days Stokes needs to remind them of that...
The thing with Test match cricket is that it is not one - dimensional.
Bazball does seem one-dimensional.
🏏🎄......an Ode On 22 Yards Seems To Be Making For Team England,even at Divine Dharamshala 🕊🕊
Bazzball destroyed joe root's skill against spin
Crawley is constantly getting out after making a good start and then the rest of them fold shortly afterwards. It's no coincidence that this keeps on happening.
It's so bloody funny that England got an antipodean to become coach of the national team and they allowed him to completely change how they play. And now that it's obvious it's not the way to play they're still promoting it and still naming how they play after a Kiwi, it's so bloody sweet.
He's a double agent.... very sneaky 😂
all captains says we take positive and work on it, but when lost again same message we take positive
Stokes has been shocking this series with the bat not contributed at all! Foakes constantly left with the tail the only time England have got big scores is when one of the star players got a big score and Foakes hung in and helped them every other time England have been weak
Gorgeous venue..
Rohit, Jaiswal, Gill and Kohli would make such a stylish top 4... With Pant, Khan and Jadeja to follow... Shami returning would help the bowling too..
And KL, Jurel, Padikkal, Axar on the bench.
Baz ball looks interesting to watch but it is not a certain way of playing test cricket i mean it may win you few extraordinary innings but not every time especially why England looks clueless while bowling like they don't have any plans or their plans aren't working it makes the match boaring play like Australia do
It should have been 5-0.
The first test win was a Gift from India...
Other than Zack Crawley(and to some extent Ben Duckett, effectively meaning both openers), no batter in top 6 of England has been able to show consistency.Bazball will be respected only if as a team or some batters together get some decent scores with consistency and not one or two fluke innings.Crawley also has played attacking cricket this series but he has always respected Bumrah, respected good balls,has looked to play high percentage risky shots and has looked very assured but others have played 1 good innings each and failed in all other innings.
Bazball: Laughing Stock 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😖😖🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
Too harsh
England simply lack the talent
Outstanding spell by Kuldeep.
Bumrah bowled well early on too!
And Jaiswal is a gem!
Bazball working well for Eng openers getting good starts but not for their middle order....
Look fwd to Kohli, Pant, Shami also returning. KL, Axar will add to the bench strength too..
No one wants to talk about the Elephant in the room - STOKES!
Tomorrow's first session will be crucial, if English bowlers could able to take quick wickets and restrict Indian inning below 300 runs. Cricket fans, especially, test cricket fans, will be pleased to see such scintillating comeback by England team.
Fearsome balling line-up..This Indian team is world champions.
Nasser looks younger than when he played
The problem with ‘if only’ analysis and fantasising that England could have been 2-2 ‘if only’ they were tuned on(the problem is) that England could have just as easily been 0-4 down… had Pope’s catch been taken and he had not been allowed to make 190+ …England won by a small margin of just 24…
Even though it’s the least of the England worries but how has Anderson not learned to even bat slightly after so many innings😟
Why cant they get hundreds on these flat pitches ? You need to score hundreds. Whether you bat like cook or Peterson, doesnt matter.
Will the British media stop using the term they created -bazball?😂
Perfect mr❤❤❤❤
Aggressive approach is brilliant when the ball is turning square but if its a good surface you should stick around and set for huge runs dont commit and play the ball to merit and score in excess of 450 . These unbalance aggression worls if the pitch us behaving badly so eng wasted two opportunity to score huge 1st innings total
It's gone on for to long with England.
England were mighty lucky to win the first test just due to that innings of pope where he tode his luck and an inexperienced Indian batting order collapsed..
I think england thinking too much as everything is going against it.. they should look for simple..bazball is good approach for them, playing in india is great challenge for them..i don't understand why stokes batting at no. 6..he should bat at no.4 and root at no.3 ..building partnership in test is most important in india condition..i m really disappointed the way england played today..
I need to know what England is doing Differently (What is Bazball exactly), Is it changing field at every ball? Is it playing aggressive at everyball? Or playing according to situation ( being aggressive at the right time) Thats what every other team do tbh, I am fed up by this term as tbe definition changes every time someone asks about it especially from Nick Knight
Ask the press, they coined it
Middle order is their major issue. Opening pairs have performed throughout the series. You couldn't ask for a better start.
Let’s not forget how much England have improved, they’ve gone forward in leaps and bounds, they’ve revolutionised cricket. According to Stokes at least.
Ben Foakes should bat at no 4 he has got technique in these conditions can stop flow of wickets
Hey Poms mission accomplished. It was highly entertaining!
I don’t think Bazball is any reason to blame for England’s. When you look at the score line and see 4-1, it looks like India dominated. Meanwhile India was scared for more than 3/4 of the series. India did have quite a lot of inexperienced batsmen but all the bowlers were experienced bowlers. There were quite a lot of moments where India were struggling. India is one of the toughest place for any visiting sides and they played well in 4 of the 5 tests. The two main issues they had multiple batting collapses and failed to bowl out Indian lower order batsmen.
Indian batters showed some respect to England bowlers while English batters were delusional and arrogant
Even the bowlers. Look at the reaction of Bashir after getting Jaiswal out.
despite the respect they got 135 in 30 overs @ 4.5 rpo. Shows how poorly England bowled.
I feel England need a whole new squad as most of the older players look exhausted and out of form.
I said this at the start of the series and I’ll say it again, you can’t say bazball has improved this team unless they have a better score line than the last tour of India and they haven’t … despite India being without a bunch of senior players and cycling through debutants half the series. In fact this really makes englands last tour of India look significantly better than this one considering they won a test against an Indian side that had Pant and Kohli in 2020. Regression.
At times teams go down into such a shell, nothing works, these are times that happen..to everyone.. I wd say.. boast less and step down a bit from being over confident..
May be under the bazball umbrella they forget their individuality aspect as a batsman.
Stokes no show with the bat is going unnoticed i think
Zak crawly got a magical delivery from Kuldeep
