No example.
Poor captaincy as evidenced by his field placings.
Lack of discipline in the squad.
Clearly does not inspire fear into his seamers who did
whatever nonsensical bowling of length they felt like and wasted TWO new balls.
Out thought.
Clearly did not inspire fear into the many batsmen who
'committed batting suicide'.
Has given England a longterm losing mentality!
I have, over years, seen England lose many test matches - but seldom so ignominiously. Even at his best he has always been far too defence-minded. That he has not stood down is shameful.
WARMEST CONGRATULATIONS TO INDIA ON A THOROUGHLY PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE WITH BOTH BAT AND BALL! A group of players I regard as not being as strong individually as England showed how a team works and thinks.
(Well done, Matt Prior for showing some dignity.)
