Glad that this series is getting over soon. Went as expected and there were no changes in overall script which was another overseas loss.
We've played ok
We have played poorly imo. This is the worst batting lineup I have watched in overseas conditions since 3 decades.
2011/2014?
The ends of those series was comical and lacked fight
yep 2011 and 2014 was definitely worse.
2011 no pride in playing for india in that series and frankly speaking they put shame to indian cricket in that tour.
2014 was better than 2011 but it was more of the batsman being out of their depth, not going to be so harsh considering it was most of the players first overseas tours and they were young players and they did improve in 2018.
2018 was pleasing that barring lords games they made sure SENA nations had to be at the top of their game to beat india and they can not take india lightly.
only issue is that batting in England is a problem and that needs to be fix 3 tours in a row where batting in england been below par and it should hurt the indian team that their was essentially one batsman away from winning this series, Small margins but they need to improve the batting, good news is that bowling looks secured for the next 5-6 yrs.
Batting outside Rahane, pujara and kohli needs to be fixed though.
