ONE innings.

[sandeep]

All we needed was one decent innings from the top order.  Someone apart from Kohli to stand up and be counted.  5 of them failed to seize their opportunity.  

 

Absolutely gutted with this loss.

Such losses hurt more because they were winnable. one-sided, dont care but when you are so close to grab them from the neck at 87/7, you let it slip away.

wont say that.  Every player play to win but other team is there to play too and that team is superior in those conditions.

True,I guess it ll be downhill from here on,ATG innings of Kohli wasted,fking Curran of all people 

[chewy]

This.

 

5 batsmen x 2 innings = 10 flops, no-one goes past 30 runs or played more than 50 balls

 

Loose off-stump game, couldn’t see of swing

 

England deserves this win, team effort whilst India was alll about 1 player, Kohli

 

And dumba$$es dropped Pujara

Do you really think likes of Dhawan or Rahane or Vijay played to win?Rahane is a grade A choker in crucial chases can’t put up a fight,Dhawan who bats like a tailender overseas laughs away shamelessly after dropping catches.They can’t even chase 194 baki match me ghanta kuch karenge ye?Sorry bit  emotional or disappointed with the way we were bundled out.

This loss hurts but not much like that 1st test against saf .after that match I was absolutely certain that this team cannot chase anything in the fourth innings so I was mentally prepared for a defeat when the target was set at 194 .

Another one I remember is the galle test against Lanka,lost from a winning position 

[Cricketics]

Disappointing loss and one which will hurt. We should have won even though English tail wagged. Our’s did too in the first inning who stood with Kohli.

 

What the main difference was that our batting heavily relied on one guy this game. Most of them are quality bats but they did not turn up on the big day.

We have been wary of our slip catching since 2014 ,it has lost us countless test matches which were winnable

Problem is We make the same mistake again.Dhawan has been our worst slip fielder
Yet he is persisted.Dhawan gets back in test side on odi performances.Worlds 6 ranked batsman is dropped.

I'll make it worse.  5 of them failed to seize their opportunity - twice.

Hate bloody hate losing close games. Still cant get over Adelaide test keep thinking what if, what if. And now this.

[rtmohanlal]

the sad reality is that there has been no one in this line up apart from Viajy with a proven track record in ENG and that showed. Even Vijay 's was just about ok and he is not getting young either. All the others in the line up have always been avg: at best in ENG. Only one positive is that Kohli has started to rectify that record. That's why I always said that Kohli,Rahane & Vijay only formed the components

for a strong top six in this line up.What Shastri-Kohli & selectors have been doing is not at all trying to groom potential younsters & instead falling back to proven failures like Kartik & Dhawan. Then naturally the  team paid the price.
