***Official***Match #29 - India vs England- October 29th - Lucknow (D/N)

Just poor application from England really, should have even able to negotiate this with less than 3 wickets falling

Mo did okay with the ball today but I'd still rather have Brook. Batting is shallow today. Livingstone at 6 is clearly a place too high.
Livingstone needs to be and play as a batsman, focus on one job rather than be useless at it but can bowl a bit

the whole squad was wrong from the off, too many quicks few of whom can bowl well consistently outside of England, batting was more or less hinging on some form and balance in the middle and few of the order that can bowl are #6 or #7 material

Livingstone isn't a good enough bowler for #7, Ali struggling as a batsman at #7, they probably hoped after his exploits in Tests in India batting up the order he'd do more than he has, all he has done in England terms is regress


oh and LOL at the notion Ali "did ok", England had them 40/3 and he just bowled tidily for a bigger total, free runs is more the way to look at it

Can't really fault Bairstow. Did his best. Just doesn't have a great technique against pace. The quality from Bumrah and Shami was unrelenting. Stokes' shot was much more disappointing.

It's alright lads. Moeen's in now. Definitely not gonna prod and poke around for 20 minutes and then lob one to a fielder for 15.

England players should be made to watch a re-run of this game.

We had to watch it so I don't see why they should get away with it.
