But we have been outplayed convincingly.
Just not good enough on these types of wickets
I don't mind losing but losing by an innings is honestly pathetic given they didn't even score 400
England need to return the favour by producing green tops in the summer

Fack off can’t blame the pitch when there’s such a huge gulf in runs scored.
Subcontinent pitches are for spin.
Test matches ending inaide 2 days and 3 days.
Poor pitches.
That doesn't excuse our woeful batting performance
Ah well, I'd have taken 3-1 before the series

You really are slow
Only the third test pitch was a disgrace.
The third test pitch was fine. It's the pink ball. Always has been.
Everyone throwing Bess under the bus lmao.
He bowled pretty well in Sri Lanka and then got 5 for in the first innings in the 1st test and then from the 2nd innings root didn't trust him as he went for a few which is pretty harsh.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought he did well in Sri Lanka but he did get a few wickets with full tosses and it only got worse. There was a stay during this test where 30% of his bowls were overpitched or really short and he just got worse and worse

Bottom line is England are just a poor side, in anything other than overcast favourable English conditions.

Wasn’t too overcast in Sri Lanka a couple of months ago

Sri Lanka are not a great Test side. They are on par with Ireland.

That's harsh and I'd say I don't agree. Won in South Africa and Sri Lanka recently convincingly.
I think a fair criticism would be that we don't tend to do too well in India and Australia. The 2 best test nations in the world.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No point trying to make logical arguments with Sandy.
The five match series v India will be a good gauge of where this team is. Given they turned over Australia away, beating them over 5 matches would be a great achievement.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not a matter of making logical arguments fella. A poor England have been comprehensively thumped. They have barely scored a run in three successive Tests. Sometimes you have to face up to the fact that the side is not very good. Lots of overhyped players in the team. Anderson will not be around to bail England out forever, what then? Root is the only real Test batsman in the side. All the others are just one day merchants.
Only players who reputation stayed intact apart from Root was Buttler. Had he played the last 3 tests he would have been all over the place given that he's pretty chit at playing spin.
Feel for Foakes, gets carted out to play in the sub continent and then gets no chance on pitches at home where he can bat well.
Also forgot to say this resting players malarkey is an absolute joke. You don't rest your best players when you've playing the best team in the world.
Thats like playing in the CL semi finals and then resting 2 of your best players. U just wouldn't do that.
You rest players in series against so called lesser nations. Ie Sri Lanks, Ireland, West Indies. However players don't want to be rested for these games as they can stat pad.

Agree, England make far to many changes, game to game.
I think we just play too much international cricket in general to be honest, particularly tests. No other nations play as many tests as we do every year.
Great to watch as a fan obviously but I can understand the need to rotate a lot and our results suffer a lot as a result.

Such a simple and ill thought out view and wrong.
England don't play top test match spin well. The main reason being that our pitches back home <Taunton and Chelmsford the exception> are not conducive to spin bowling. We therefore produce very few quality spin bowlers and quality batsmen agst spin.
England are certainly not a poor side. They have some of the greatest players in world cricket in their team at present. But agst spin, on turning wickets they are poor. It has nearly always been thus.
