After the humiliation of losing to Bangladesh, England seem to be trying to better that now.

So can you cricket experts on here PJ, tell me why we are so shit at batting?

Apart from Joe Root, who even he gave his wicket away in the first innings.

Quite depressing watching them struggle so much. therethere

You wouldn't believe both teams were batting on the same pitch today having watched the full day. Englands batting against spin has been abysmal this innings, seemingly unable to pick up line or more importantly length.

The Indian tail made it look easy in the morning. I know the experts are rightly giving the Indian spinners praise for accurate bowling but it is also poor batting technique. Rightly or wrongly Englands players don't play against quality spinners very often (in this instance not going to say on turning surfaces as this track isn't particularly turning yet)

To be fair the England batsmen are facing World class spinners, the Indians are facing spinners who are barely county standard.

I thought we'd lose this series 3 or 4 nil before it started I've seen little to make me think that won't be the case.

Some of the selections have been a bit baffling why is Ballance there?
