Happy to be proved wrong here but Cook just saying 180 will be really tough to get on this pitch is gonads
They will get it for 2 max
 
Trying to put a positive spin on 8-133? Sorry but I don't care what the context is, that's brick.

It has spun yes, India has bowled well yes but we should be getting more than 140 especislly as Crawley got 60 odd of those

Wonder if Stokes still thinks this was a positive tour good for development? Limp, LIMP final display shows they're totally beaten and broken
 
Very good for Hartley & Bashir, they have both looked very very good
Cook having a dig about not having another way to play, particularly when you're in such different conditions.. Tide might start turning pretty quick if the next series is so poor

Think the criticism is a bit harsh, really should have beaten the Aussies last summer. A selection clanger cost us, if Foakes plays instead of Bairstow then we win that (could have also done with taking it seriously from the start and not trying to be mates with them, Aussies lapped that up first 2 tests).

India in India are the best team in world cricket, losing there shouldn’t be seen as an embarrassment. We were well in the series until midway through the 3rd test, been pretty poor since then, granted.

We could have easily won the 1st 3 tests too

Yeh the fall out all feels abit Spurs after a defeat

1 win in 9 before Bazza, some other equally bad records in there too.

We have drawn with Aussies, NZ, beaten Pakistan in first ever whitewash and sit 3rd in test rankings. Now it's a transition, players hitting early to mid 30s, few retired, trying new things, it will be a bumpy year.

We see better than we were, India were just better, it happens
