***Official*** India in England 2014

He averaged 58.92 before this series, so yeah pretty much.

He actually averaged 66 at the start of the year, and all he's played this year is two Tests in New Zealand and this series.
Wow. Obviously there's a sample size issue for such an extreme fluctuation but I didn't realise his series had been quite that bad.

Wow ridiculous. Never play for India again you spineless fool. Jumping and hopping when facing anything that bounces over waist high, and now look at this travesty... Crouching like a scared little girl when the fielder throws the ball. Stand up straight and take some blows on the body FFS. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

I think so. Don't think we turned in anything quite that bad during the winter did we?
Hmm. Morning session on Day 2 of Sydney, evening session on Day 3 at Melbourne - hell, even the afternoon session of Day 2 at Brisbane all come to mind.

I always thought Gambhir would be back after his last dropping. I was never a huge fan even when he scoring tons upon tons, but I thought he was good enough for that not be 'the end' at such a young age. I guess I was technically right but this has been so dire that I was essentially wrong on that front. His bad habits actually seem so much more exaggerated now than they were when he was last in the side; it seemed like more of a mid-career trough to me back then.

In the case of Brisbane at least, that was a case of our batting folding but to quality bowling

here they've bowled and fielded like buffoons then capped it with a run out.

All very good examples of shocking sessions of cricket.......still think what we saw this morning is on a whole new level of woefulness.

Including Bell and Prior getting caught short leg off consecutive balls? Fair point, though.

I went into an exam that afternoon when England were 1 for. Rang my mate when I got out the exam and genuinely couldn't believe what he was telling me.
