ENGLAND TOUR OF INDIA, 2021 by Rob Johnston • Published on Share Tweet In the current series against India, England have been bowled out for under 200 in five successive innings. © BCCI In the current series against India, England have been bowled out for under 200 in five successive innings. It is only the second time in their history that has happened and the first since 1888. The tourists have also registered three of their lowest four totals in India in the last two Tests. Even accounting for the low-scoring nature of this series, those statistics make for grim reading and demonstrate the extent of the challenge facing England's batsmen in the fourth Test. They really are in a hole. It is no surprise then that Joe Root spoke shortly after last week's two-day defeat about the need for his team to quickly move on from the last two matches. "We can't have any scars going into the last game," Root said at the post-match … [Read more...] about England aim to end tour on high after a winter of lessons – some good, some bad

India vs England 2021: Leach eager to learn subtleties of spin bowling from Ashwin, Axar in 4th Test
India won the day-night third Test by 10 wickets inside two days to take a 2-1 lead in the four-match series. Ashwin and Axar used the spin-friendly Motera pitch to great effect and picked up 18 of the 20 English wickets in the match to demolish the visitors. "When you see players having so much success, like Ravichandran Ashwin, who has just got to 400 Test wickets and has a lot of experience in India, and Axar Patel, who has had a great start to Test cricket, of course, you try to learn from them," Leach wrote in a column for 'Sky Sports'. India vs England 2021: Hogg wants Ashwin in limited-overs squad "It's important not to look at it too emotionally though and think 'I just want to bowl exactly like them!'. Ashwin is right-arm, for a start, so I'm not going to bowl like him! Even Axar, he's a left-arm spinner, but he''s taller than me - I can't change my height!" The 29-year-old left-arm spinner felt the experienced Ashwin was very clever in the way he changed his … [Read more...] about India vs England 2021: Leach eager to learn subtleties of spin bowling from Ashwin, Axar in 4th Test
