Catching up the highlights, it does seem the ball was keeping low for some of those wickets. England's batting just seems in capable of winning matches. The bowling cant afford to give away situations like the first innings, our batting is hardly capable of scoring much over 300 vs a decent line up.
Root looked about as convincing as anyone would, when he said the 2nd innings proved we can still win the series. Id take 4-0 right now, I just cant see this batting order putting a match winning performance in.
We really need to address the fact that its been nearly a decade since we produced a crop of world class players. There are few exceptions. Bairstow is going backwards, Ali looks incapable of bowling on these wickets, and the other players established are all getting older and older.
Should be no surprise, the academy and player development models is being run by a coach who couldnt pick his own for toffee.
