Former captain Andrew Strauss believes England batsmen are simply not ok to deal with the spin-friendly Indian circumstances after yet one more flop present by the guests within the first innings of the continued fourth Test in Ahmedabad.
England’s batsmen on Thursday produced a shoddy efficiency to give up the momentum to India with Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin calling the photographs on the opening day of the Test right here.

After 5 innings, England crossed the 200-run mark once they managed a complete of 205 in 75.5 overs earlier than being bowled out.
“Let’s not hide away from the truth. England’s batting quite frankly is not good enough in these conditions,” Strauss was quoted as saying by ‘Channel 4’.

“You can talk about the pitch and about the ball and about anything else, but you have to find a way to score first-innings runs and they have got very few to play with.”
The 44-year-old Strauss, a former left-handed opener, feels England batsmen are shedding the battle of their minds as they’ve been committing the identical errors which they did within the earlier two Test matches.
“It is scarcely believable,” he stated.
“England are making the identical errors they’ve made all through the entire collection. The non-turning ball has left them non-plussed.
