India had this issue overseas before it's small margins and they make for big losses. I think creating less opportunities is the real issue, you would always expect to drop some. Kohli has only one score below 50 right? And he stood on his stumps. Sometimes you've just got to say he's too good. We've got him and Ashwin that will prove to be ATG in these conditions. It's nice honestly as an Indian fan after 2011. Kohli has given us some fire back. I think England have been pretty good. I was worried after test 1 but we are cheating with kohli and Ashwin

They got surprisingly near in the first game, nearer than I thought they would get. But the magnitude of the task isn't an excuse for the ill preparedness of the attempt. Perhaps the opposite.
