Losing 4-1 to this shitty ass English side is a bloody disgrace. 

How come England is shitty? They are the team to beat in own backyard. Disgrace is no 1 team is losing to low rank team on numbers. You should be happy at least won the 3rd game due to poor call by root after winning the toss and electing to bowl first. Otherwise it would have been another whitewash

lol memories getting refreshed of previous English disasters of this decade, @Gollum bhai 2-3 gaaliyan banti hai for Dhoni, Kohli, Shastri etc 

[Lala]

India's bowling seems to be already given up and waiting for declaration. Dull bowling and leaking runs. Whatever they scored India has to chase by heart and soul. Since nothing to loose I would like to see at least give a fight by postive aggressive batting when they batting. Specially from Rahul & Kohli. 

[Sachinism]

TBF this is the least competitive they've looked all series.

Shouldn't really be a reflection of the fight shown all series. Batsmen have been the let down

I feel ya. Was offered a ticket for today. And I work in Elephant and Castle. Not worth the trip

Just pointless. Yes we showed fight at times in the series but we kept losing the initiative when it mattered. We just don't play smart cricket outside of Asia for a long sustained duration. I expect us to do better in Australia as the pitches suit us. In England we're always ordinary, can't handle their bowling and worse is that this English side is nothing. Shami trying to blast Rashid summed up the series with Jaddu at the other end.

 

I hope Dhawan is permanently dropped and just plays ODI and Rahane gone from all formats. Pandya should remain in the  squad but we gotta play 6 bats from now on in every away game.

India ain't surviving 4 sessions or scoring 400 to win, it will be a miracle if anyone of both happens, So it's already game over, Hope I don't jinx poms. 

[ViruDilSeKhelo]

I still want to win this as 3-2 is better than 4-1 as we are the number 1 side. Points matter. Jai Hind.

Fairest reflection of the series.

[Lala]

Well done my boy. Cook 100. He deserves 100. What a patient knock. 

 

 

[Lannister]

In a way this loss is good for us. Time to sack the whole team management. They are nothing short of disgraceful. 

[Austin 3:!6]

I think we will chase this target on 5th day

[beetle]

Congrats Cook.

It's a poor call on a good batting wicket by Root. Then why you guys blamed Kohli in CT Final after winning the toss and fielding first cost the entire game. That's how the toss is the crucial factor on a decider of a match.
