Key Points
The recently concluded five-match Test series between India and England has exposed England mens cricket..
I say this because England mens cricket is gripped by several shortcomings that are not even recognised by the stakeholders..
Englands performance becomes more pathetic when one takes into account the fact that India was a depleted side in the absence of four world-class players. India even rested Jasprit Bumrah for a Test but England failed to capitalise on it..
Another example of Englands poor attitude on the tour was when the team opted to leave India for Abu Dhabi instead of setting up a practice camp at Rajkot ahead of the third Test..
It is laughable to assume that the English batters could play long innings at a high strike rate against great Indian spinners on Indian pitches..
