First of all I didn’t like the team. Burns had to be left out to shoehorn Bairstow in and Johnny did what he always does and got out to a straight ball. But on the other hand the hair and beard should have been enough to see Burns dropped.
Then just picking one spinner in India, really? Is Root planning to bowl more overs? He might well have to.
I couldn’t really follow any coverage at work today but from what I could gather a promising if tenuous position collapsed in horrifying style and bar Crawley, none of the batsmen seem to have done themselves much credit . I may be biased but I’ll put a hand up for Ben Foakes who done better than most, it seems we can only score decent runs in the sub-continent when the captain goes big.
Again there was controversy with the use of DRS which was more down to consistency that daylight robbery, even so it’s hard to make any conclusions other than I’m not the only person showing bias. But at the end of the day this doesn’t excuse a poor performance from England.
