Thank you England for a memorable tour of India

[BreadPakoda]

I think they played well. The overall results look bad but they made India sweat in almost all games. Well done!

How do you rate England's performance?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Well done England. Can we give them as much fight as they gave to us when we tour them later this year?

In terms of result, a humiliating performance from England. Getting whacked in all three formats. You would expect better from them.

Anyways, they have shown that besides India, they are the best LOI side in the world and besides India and Australia, they are the best test side in the world alongside Australia.

Nevertheless, it is good to see them producing some world class players who are tremendous under pressure situations like Stokes, Buttler, Bairstow, Archer and Sam Curran.

Losing 3-2 and 2-1 in the T20s and ODIs respectively isn't what I would call getting whacked.

 

[Hitman]

Thoroughly enjoyed all 3 series of this tour.

 

[Mamoon]

They played very well. You cannot beat the GOAT Asian Test side in their den so to win a match was a big achievement.

The white ball series were neck and neck and could have easily gone England’s way.

Overall, they played quality cricket and should be proud of themselves. It was certainly a more fruitful tour compared to 2016.

 

[Hasan123]

The test series was ok, enjoyed the LO series much more as they were more competitive.

England played very well. Rashid turned out to be a gun bowler. Good for him. India found the chink in Butler's armor. If I'm not mistaken he was out lbw for an incoming delivery on leg stump in atleast 3 or 4 games out of 7. The last game should show Indian management that the top order doesn't need to be over cautious. They will score par no matter what. Exciting games with one team capitalizing on it midway and running away with it. That was the theme in 5 out of 7 games. 2 games were close. Overall great performance by England. India took advantage of key moments like all great sides do.

 

[King_Kohli]

Superb series.
We reached to WTC final.

 

[WengerOut]

Losing 3-2 and 2-1 in the T20s and ODIs respectively isn't what I would call getting whacked.

7 out of 8 times they won the toss and bowled first. Lost 4 of them after having that dew advantage. In tests as well, won 3 out of 4 tosses and batted first. Lost 2 of them. In that context it was poor.

England won almost all the tosses. White ball cricket England was below average - test nothing special performance from England except 1 test

 

[Saj]

As a neutral, it was a good tour to watch.

Both sides showed why they are so highly rated in the white-ball formats, while India showed why they are so strong at home.

 

[Buffet]

Eng actually played well in this tour.

Teams have not won tests in India in the last 7-8 years. Eng won one test. The shorter format series were closely fought.

 

[shujaatraza]

Had England not done their rotation policy in Test Matches then test series would have been more interesting..I mean why rest Anderson after 1st test match and Moeen Ali opting to go home

 

[Bhaijaan]

Despite the many goof ups by India through out the tour by England, it was eventually a very impressive win. After seeing the team giving it's all in Australia, I was concerned if they had enough in the tank to hold a world class English team but they did after all.

Had expected England to pick up victory in either of the two white ball formats if not both after the test series loss but India surprised me by taking both of them and by winning must win situation games.

England may have many questions to answer in tests on Indian soil but in white ball formats they are a force anywhere on tje planet. To win over them even my a small margin is a sigh of relief.

Reminds me of Thankyou BCCI for this experience

England completely misread the pitches and picked the wrong bowlers for the last 2 tests.

It's safe to say English batsmen were clueless against axar and ashwin on turning pitches. England didn't have a chance to win the test series.

Matt Parkinson the leggie or virdi should have debuted, as they are much better spinners than bess. The sri lankan series gave a false sense of confidence in bess.

Moeen ali actually bowled poorly in the 2nd test. Bowled many run leaking deliveries on a turner which costed the match. However that could be attributed to lack of match practice, he would have done much better in the final test if he played.

Well, it’s clear that modern England batters cannot play the spinning ball on turning wickets, and this is alarming given that the 2012 side won their series. The skill set was lost in under a decade. Crawley has been a huge disappointment after the way he played Pakistan.

England have one single effective spinner in Leach.

It has been difficult to get the best side on the field due to managing mental health in the bio bubble. Having said that, England misread the pitch in the last two tests, picked the wrong attack and paid the price.

Some success in the LO matches and some guys advanced.

Hopefully with the vaccine rollout, normal service can resume in the coming Northern summer.

 

[Technics 1210]

Good series. Just what a lockdown required. Thriller ODI game in the game.

 

[OMB]

Good series. could have been the best series if it were not for the Aussie series.
India win was predictable as it was home series for them but there were always good starts for England in tests and T20. Close fought series where India bounced back after initial shocks.
They will find it difficult to to do it in England though.

 

[Saj]

Vital experience for England also for the T20 World Cup and will undoutedly help in their squad selection for this tournament.

LONDON: England cricket coach Chris Silverwood said his team had learned many lessons from their tour of India even though they left empty-handed after series defeats in all three formats.

England have been on the road for almost three months, first in Sri Lanka and then in India, during one of the most restrictive away trips ever undertaken as a result of coronavirus protocols.

England started their tour well, winning their Test series against Sri Lanka 2-0 and won the first Test against India in Chennai.

But Virat Kohli's men bounced back strongly to win the last three Tests and also took the Twenty20 and one-day international (ODI) honours after both series went to a decider.

"I'm very proud of them," said Silverwood. "I'm proud of each and every player who has been out here.

"I'm proud of the effort and the attitude that's been shown towards the game. I think we've learned a lot and from that point of view I couldn't ask any more of them. I think we take a lot of experience.

Cheong Kwan Jang's Korean red ginseng comes in convenient capsules, tonics and pouches.

"It's a very difficult place to come and win, we know that India are very strong in their conditions."

Silverwood said England, world champions in the 50-over ODI format, had garnered valuable experience for the T20 World Cup, being held in India later this year.

The England coach also revisited the controversial rotation policy, which was used to give a number of multi-format players including Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root a rest at various points of the tour.

The approach attracted criticism in some quarters, with frequent comings and goings seen as disruptive.

However, Silverwood would not do things any differently given the psychological demands of touring during a pandemic and the already punishing physical workloads.

"I would do the same again," he said.

"I've said all along the priority has to be that the players are all right. Stepping in before anybody breaks, so to speak, is the best way to go. Prevention is better than a cure."
