Talking Points:

  • A one-sided – and thoroughly expected – end to a Test series in India
  • The Bazball delusion 
  • England's inadequate bowling resources thoroughly exposed
  • Kuldeep the genius - a wristspinner with both variety and control 
  • R Ashwin caps off his 100th Test with signature spells
  • The first morning - when Bumrah and Siraj made the ball talk
  • The challenge against spin for Duckett, Pope, Stokes, and Bairstow 
  • Did England Bazball enough or too much? And why it doesn't matter
  • When Shubman Gill was at his fluent best
  • The problem with England playing Anderson and hardly bowling him
  • England not replacing the injured Leach and Rehan - and over-bowling Bashir
