England/India tests 2024

Ok I'll stop with he Jimmy trolling.

First innings runs were crucial throughout. We did well in the first test to recover from that and kind of messed up the 4th test by allowing India to get up to 300. If we'd had a 100+ run lead we may have won that test bringing it back to 2-2 then who knows where heads may have been for this final test.

England aren't going to abandon their mentality after a series loss especially with a couple of easier home series coming up in the summer.

They've had a few bad days on this tour which have cost them dearly but they've had some very good days as well. Bar one good partnership from Root and Foakes, I think we've looked worse when we haven't been positive and that is the more concerning element for me. Sometimes you need to play more atttritional stuff and this team don't look capable of it and we've been taught a lesson by India.

Don't forget we played in India. Not many teams go there and win. They are experts in their own conditions. If India came to England I would expect England to thrash them

Yes, it's a familiar situation in India and not just for England. Things will be easier back home in the summer against West Indies and Sri Lanka. England need to build up the squad then with an eye on the Ashes tour late next year.

Imagine my surprise waking up to find this is all over. England and poor batting performances go hand in hand like the certainty of Max Verstappen winning a FI race.

The real England test team are back.

well done India.. England go and sit on it

I'd have felt a complete tool playing Duckett's shot when I was 13.

Key moment in the series for me was Stokes not bothering to make his ground in the 2nd innings of the 2nd test.
