[@samsonnair45]

I strongly believe the England selectors have massively let Joe Root down by their rotation policy, he never had his strongest 11 to compete against the best test cricket team in the world. Also players have to take responsibility here, after the 1st innings in the 1st test there was no 50 runs partnership. Everyone seem to be in a rush, for gods sake its a 5 day test match take your time.

[@vilobh2829]

I think the rotation policy is good. I know they lost this series but if you look at the greater good, they have preserved their players for even bigger tournaments than this series like the world cup and ashes. I know if England had won this series they could have qualified for wtc finals but tbf they had very bleak chances of winning this series.

[@nareshrd61]

This rotation policy is ill-conceived. You do not rotate players with the intent to give up one big series in favour of some future ones...as if those wins are guaranteed. They have issues with players and their commitments to the national side, and until those are meaningfully addressed, they will always cop out. Stated generously, this was a mediocre team with a terribly depleted bowling team, and an ever worse attitude going by how they played spin. Like you said - there seems to be a rush to move on. Test match cricket is all about playing time.

Congratulations to the Indian team, they are playing extremely well and they have some wonderful cricketers in the team. But there are two options for Indian supporters when it comes to how they want to be judged by the rest of the cricket world....do you want to be admired and looked up to, or do you want to be looked down upon for your arrogance and crude, ugly abuse?

If I point out a few instances they would be, when Steve Smith came out to bat after walking off the field ailing to concussion; the amount of foul language and boo's he received was just disheartening and disrespectful to see.

I love the way Nasser speaks the facts, he goes on to say, the moment it spins England does not have the answer, which is exactly the case in the first test at Chennai, the first two days of the first test, the ball didn't even bounce if not turn. So India realised their mistake and took the grass off the remaining matches. I would even say except the third test the other pitches are not bad as people say.

The main point these gentlemen are missing is they had a template the 2013 tour of India . Alistair cook was successful against Ashwin and Oja and was ably supported by Kevin Petersen. They also had the best spinning option of panesar and Swany, the best on show from both sides. Infact these spinners were the best for England for a very long time. There is not one player in this current English team comparable to them and the present Indian side is best in the world.

The biggest issue I think is that winning a test series in India isn’t the biggest mission for England. Ashes for them is the pinnacle of Test cricket. The Aus team led by Steve Waugh and then Ricky Ponting always wanted to win that final frontier. It is because they wanted to conquer the toughest opponents on foreign soil. When it comes to Tests, England doesn’t have the same passion.

[@hashtag_thisguy]

The discussion of England looking for a spin bowler reminds me of how England struggled to find a naturally left sided midfielder....

[@tombrady5587]

The point on making pitches for domestic games spin more is valid. Somerset were deducted 12 points for making a spinning pitch just over a year ago. The funny thing was that Somerset lost the game, and it showed that there seems to be a decision process where on occasions swinging and seaming conditions that are arguably harder to bat on is fair but when it spins or bounces a bit more, the teams preparing the pitches are punished. The other point it highlighted was that "a fair contest between bat and ball" is subjective as if our domestic players can't bat well against spin, any pitch moderately spinning will be deemed unfair to the batsman. Our batsman simply won't learn that way.

@@soumyapradhan6107 Yes, regardless of a team’s ability to play spin it’s commonly accepted that a pitch should deteriorate over time so as to offer something for all facets of the game. It’s a shame because this Indian attitude is simply going to lead to a race to the bottom for pitches, with spin becoming even less influential in other countries as we become forced to produce greener wickets that won’t deteriorate and Australia try to producer faster tracks. It’s just another area of the game that Indian impatience and simplicity is going to damage just like with their T20 hysteria. The pitch didn’t need to be so doctored, Axar and Ashwin are just fantastic and their variation was absolutely fantastic to watch, the batsmen looked totally pinned by every ball.
