Yesterday, the dismal England Test team hit a new low. Some very mediocre captaincy, especially with regard to fielding positions, was exacerbated by some of the most wretched bowling ever seen at international level on a 'track' which could have been designed for swing and seam bowlers - in fact, it clearly had been.The wickets tended to fall to the pretty rare 'pitched up' deliveries, yet at one point, the SKY pitch map revealed that only SIX percent of balls had been pitched up. Anderson, Broad & Plunkett were all serial offenders. Permitting India to get 300 on a pitch like this after England had won the toss was execrable cricket. Well done to Rahane, though, for his well-made hundred.
