India drubbed England within the fourth Test in Ahmedabad to assert the collection 3-1 in an emphatic method.

In his 4 innings, Bairstow couldn’t open his account on three events and scored 28 within the first innings of the fourth Test.
Vaughan strongly feels such a poor present would lead to Bairstow shedding his place within the aspect when the Ashes collection comes later this yr.
“Jonny Bairstow is gone from this Test team. I can’t see him batting at three in England this summer or in Australia this winter. I don’t think there are really many positives to take from this tour,” Vaughan was quoted as saying by ‘Express’.
“The only ones are that Joe Root, James Anderson and Ben Stokes remain up there among the best players in the world. Jack Leach has enhanced his reputation a bit as well.”
Vaughan but once more made a robust pitch for England to focus extra on Test cricket and never white-ball collection.

“These 4 video games ought to have been the top and the precedence for England on this a part of the yr, not the white-ball recreation.
“There have been tight moments in all three of the Tests that India have won, but India have managed to take back control of the match very quickly in all three – often in the space of an hour.”
Another former England captain Andrew Strauss was disenchanted that England surrendered in abject method as an alternative of placing up a struggle towards Indian spin duo of Ravi Ashwin and Axar Patel.
“You’re simply actually dispirited. You’re hoping England have discovered classes, to indicate some struggle and for us to have the ability to log out saying ‘well, yes they’ve misplaced the collection, however there are some positives’.
“We didn’t see a lot of that. You look at Dan Lawrence I suppose, how he played in both innings actually, but it was sadly lacking from other players.”
Strauss additionally felt that England weren’t maybe mentally sturdy sufficient to tackle the Indian spinners.
“It’s so arduous in Test cricket the place one group will get on high, they usually get a psychological maintain on the opposition. It’s very arduous to show that round. That’s what England have skilled over the past three weeks.
“Their frailties got exposed. Steve Waugh used to talk about mental disintegration. It wasn’t about sledging, it was about the persistence of the Indian spinners and England had no real answer for it,” mentioned Strauss.
