Perhaps they should have a squad rotation system where, when they play India, they leave Cook at home and choose a batsman that 1) can play spin and 2) doesn't make the same mistake time and time again,

They're as bewildered as Molina was last night. Just look at their body language. This will be over very quickly and as I've seen this so many times before, I'm off out for something much more appetising, a full English.

Positive thought
There are approx 135 overs left. Score at 4 an over for 100 overs giving us 400 and a lead of 170 . Then bowl out India in 35 overs as they go for a mad run chase or maybe I'm still inebriated....... ![]() Nurse !

We keep talking about how good our batting line up is but when you look at the stats it doesn't add up
Hope we show some fight here and try and take it to the last session |

Bairstow and Root doing more than just surviving now
More of a one-day approach as the scoreboard is moving along quite nicely 106/3 |

Would be hugely surprised if most of the Indian team don't get fined for over zealous appealing including running at the umpire as well as over the wicket

They've been doing it all series and no action has been taken so far. |

I am in the minority in here who DOESNT think England are pathetic and no good ? I'm a realist, and a positive thinker and I never ever expected us to win this series. India in India on those pitches with the worlds best spinner was never going to be easy. If you think otherwise you are vastly underestimating India at home.

I have no problem with being outplayed by a team that is fantastic in it's own conditions, but I think we have contributed too much too our own downfall Team selection and the Captain's tactics have also been a huge factor |

Root has done his job but it is the other three who have failed.

Boycott said it was better to see the make up of the side of the home team for each venue. For example Australia don't pick four spinners at home so you shouldn't and India don't pick four seamers here. Or is it the case we don't have the spinners to pick? |

Do you think it was a good idea to pick four seamers on what is a spinners pitch.

We don't have any world class spinners, not even close, sadly. Had Batty played instead of Ball, would it have made a difference ? Who knows. I do get fed up though of the serial posters who just post doom and gloom but have absolutely no constructive answer. You ask them who they would pick etc and of course they aren't up to answering. |
