India have beaten pretty much everyone in recent times on their own country . It's a method that works for them its not just England that struggle in the spinners paradise.

True, but every other test playing nation except England create pitches that suit thier bowling attacks. That's exactly why India produce such ideal spinning surfaces.

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Not a bad start by England in the end. Feared the worst at 21/2. An interesting Day 2 I think. We need to bat until at least tea and maybe have about 15 overs at them before stumps I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 England scoring 400 in the first innings in last test and then losing the match by an innings tells you why India are the current number one test side. That huge victory was against the worlds number two test team - England. Currently, In their own country India are almost invincible. I can't see England winning a single test match in the sub continent. A draw possibly but I'm not holding my breath on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveybadger Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Bit off topic but did anybody have a wry smile at Steve Smith admitting he edged one on 97 today, but didn't walk?

TBF to Mr Boycott he was saying this morning that 400 is just par and you need 550 or so to control the game. I don`t often agree with him but he is right on the money with that.

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Mental last hour, records falling like ninepins. Still, at least England didn`t lose a wicket before stumps - I fully expected them to be two down. Just got to bat all day tomorrow now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 I be very pleased to see England bat all day but I reckon it's unlikely. I can see another inning defeat. I reckon Cook will stand down as captain before the next test in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodEmperor Palpatine Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 With the exception of Root, Bairstow & Stokes, England are just basically average. Bowling is so toothless, watching the highlights now and witnessing India obliterate the attack is depressing. Fair play to Karun, fantastic knock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to Karun, fantastic knock England's pace bowlers are often ineffective in India because of the conditions and our sinners very rarely play on sinning wickets in the county game. India play on such wickets in their domestic cricket which is why Aswin is the leading bowler in world cricket. They all know how do play in their own conditions. Theyve beaten every international team that played them in India and are the world number one test team. They are very hard to beat in their county. Different story when they overseas especially in English conditions where the in and out pace swingers can be very effective. Anderson and Broad are fantastic at it. Im not sure when India next have a test series over here but you can get it'll be a different story when they play us. Dont forget that England are Escondido in ICC ranking and can't be as average as you're suggesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could've lost the first test and we did lose the 2nd. The 3 players I've mentioned have bailed us out quite a few times in recent times.

Hope I`m wrong but we just looked jaded and going through the motions today - Alistair Cook in particular. The last day of the last test in a very long tour and England fly home at 3am Wednesday morning Indian time. I reckon they just want it over with.

Every other test teams struggle there as well. Its dispointing of course but given India's recent climb to top status it's no surprise or disgrace.

What worries me is if they and try and change his action. England see to have a habit of over anyalising players action and pretty much ruining them. Steve Finn for starters.
