The other massive contributing factor (which is just as much a concern for the rest of the series) is that our spinners are just not as consistent as India’s. So many times a good ball is followed by a poor/average one, whereas India build up pressure with consistently good bowling. I think as @boltondiver alluded to the day/nighter might even things up a bit in our favour, get Jimmy back in. But how good has Foakes been? Can’t be many better in the world game than that lad, outstanding performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still see us losing by 150 or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 15, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted February 15, 2021 Difficult for spinners from England in a way, as they don’t get the number of overs in on such wickets. Opposite of other nations coming here and not being as good at swing bowling. Was right about social distancing though. And Foakes has been tremendous behind the stumps.
