Bottom line is England are just a poor side, in anything other than overcast favourable English conditions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nonsense, spin as been part of cricket as long as fast bowling. England have produced great spinners over the years, and lots of pitches over 140 years in England have been a spinners paradise. Very lame to say England don`t play spin, it is an essential part of cricket.

Spin is part of cricket, if they don`t play it, they should not be playing cricket. Stop making excuses for a very poor England team. Just because a pitch is covered should make zero difference. To much nonsense talked by pundits about pitches, different coloured balls, playing under lights etc, etc. Most of it total rubbish.
Over the past 18 months we've beat Sri Lanka, Pakistan, West Indies and South Africa, drew with Australia, and lost away to New Zealand and India. Bear in mind India have won every single home series since 2012.
Calling this England side very poor is simply not true.
England didn't send their best side out there. Thought burns sibley Crawley was the first 3. Didn't turn out together in 6 tests. No butler, curren, woakes, ali all the all rounders who give batting depth so can play 5 bowlers. England got all this badly wrong
Just wondering if india will reciprocate for the series in England. Fly pant out for just the first test, rest ashwin for the 2nd to make sure he is definitely fit for the 3rd, only send pujara out in time for the 3rd test, send axar Patel home after the 3rd and go into the final test with just 2 seamers?

Yes I talk rubbish by saying that spin bowling has been part of cricket since it was invented. Suddenly apparently it shouldn't be a part of cricket, because the current England players cannot play spin. Honestly what a load of rubbish. Modern supporters are clueless.
Let’s see how the India team measure up on seamers green wickets in England.
Seam/green wickets have been a part of cricket since before covered wickets.
We taught all of these countries how to play cricket...sadly they've moved on in the game...whereas we haven't at times
Mind you many cricket countries don't play football to the highest levels..so maybe we should expect this
I blame poor coaching...our batting was dreadful under Ramprakash and then improved...but we've been found out to their superior spin, mainly because we were far too defensive and didn't take it to them

----------------------------------------------------------------------
India have a pretty good seam attack too and let's be honest other than Root who else to England have? Stokes is class but still averages below 40 and is closer to the mid 30s.
If Root does not score the runs then England will struggle. Previously they had Cook but now its Root on his own.
India have well known seam and reverse bowling attack. The pitches will be made dull by England ground staff at test venues for sure.

In India that is true. In other countries, different conditions I think we ha e fine young batsman in Pope and Crawley who will both have good England careers.
Buttler lest doesn't have an amazing average, like Stokes but those two playets are game changers and the average doesn't tell the whole story. Having batsman that can change momentum in a test match is far more signifcant for me.
I am more worried about our bowling attack going forward. Anderson and Broad are near the end, Archer is a talent but much to improve on. Away from home our bowli g attack could become a big problem in the next few seasons.

Yes they do, but not as good as England,althougj Bumra could do some real damage on a green top.
But we have to find better opening batsman. At least one of them has to score at a decent tempo. If both are just trying to hang in at the crease it builds up too much scoreboard pressure.

Our batting lineup is fine, it's just they're all very inexperienced at the moment and especially so in Asian conditions which is why they looked clueless.
Sibley, Crawley and Pope have all played less than 20 games and I'd back them to come good if we stick with them.

You mean the guy with the straightest arm in cricket? Idiot
Alot of people are saying wait until India come to England and bat on green wickets should remember India actually have some very good seem bowlers.
Are people also forgetting England batters are usually just as useless in seeming conditions? Last time India came to England the series was very close as was decided by a few sessions where England got lucky with the weather conditions and got to bowl under cloud cover. The 3-1 could have been 2-2 of even had India winning.

I wouldn't necessarily say it was luck. 4-1 did flatter us but we won mainly due to our tail wagging when we needed them to, which is a similar to what India did in the 2nd and 4th test.

India are an excellent side, so yes they are more competitive away from home than we are, but I think we deserved that series win tbh.

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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nonsense, spin as been part of cricket as long as fast bowling. England have produced great spinners over the years, and lots of pitches over 140 years in England have been a spinners paradise. Very lame to say England don`t play spin, it is an essential part of cricket.

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

Over the past 18 months we've beat Sri Lanka, Pakistan, West Indies and South Africa, drew with Australia, and lost away to New Zealand and India. Bear in mind India have won every single home series since 2012.
Calling this England side very poor is simply not true.
posted on 6/3/21
England didn't send their best side out there. Thought burns sibley Crawley was the first 3. Didn't turn out together in 6 tests. No butler, curren, woakes, ali all the all rounders who give batting depth so can play 5 bowlers. England got all this badly wrong
posted on 6/3/21
Just wondering if india will reciprocate for the series in England. Fly pant out for just the first test, rest ashwin for the 2nd to make sure he is definitely fit for the 3rd, only send pujara out in time for the 3rd test, send axar Patel home after the 3rd and go into the final test with just 2 seamers?

Let’s see how the India team measure up on seamers green wickets in England.
Seam/green wickets have been a part of cricket since before covered wickets.
posted on 7/3/21
We taught all of these countries how to play cricket...sadly they've moved on in the game...whereas we haven't at times
Mind you many cricket countries don't play football to the highest levels..so maybe we should expect this
I blame poor coaching...our batting was dreadful under Ramprakash and then improved...but we've been found out to their superior spin, mainly because we were far too defensive and didn't take it to them

India have a pretty good seam attack too and let's be honest other than Root who else to England have? Stokes is class but still averages below 40 and is closer to the mid 30s.
If Root does not score the runs then England will struggle. Previously they had Cook but now its Root on his own.

India have well known seam and reverse bowling attack. The pitches will be made dull by England ground staff at test venues for sure.

In India that is true. In other countries, different conditions I think we ha e fine young batsman in Pope and Crawley who will both have good England careers.
Buttler lest doesn't have an amazing average, like Stokes but those two playets are game changers and the average doesn't tell the whole story. Having batsman that can change momentum in a test match is far more signifcant for me.
I am more worried about our bowling attack going forward. Anderson and Broad are near the end, Archer is a talent but much to improve on. Away from home our bowli g attack could become a big problem in the next few seasons.

Yes they do, but not as good as England,althougj Bumra could do some real damage on a green top.

But we have to find better opening batsman. At least one of them has to score at a decent tempo. If both are just trying to hang in at the crease it builds up too much scoreboard pressure.

Our batting lineup is fine, it's just they're all very inexperienced at the moment and especially so in Asian conditions which is why they looked clueless.
Sibley, Crawley and Pope have all played less than 20 games and I'd back them to come good if we stick with them.

Are people also forgetting England batters are usually just as useless in seeming conditions? Last time India came to England the series was very close as was decided by a few sessions where England got lucky with the weather conditions and got to bowl under cloud cover. The 3-1 could have been 2-2 of even had India winning.

I wouldn't necessarily say it was luck. 4-1 did flatter us but we won mainly due to our tail wagging when we needed them to, which is a similar to what India did in the 2nd and 4th test.

India are an excellent side, so yes they are more competitive away from home than we are, but I think we deserved that series win tbh.
