Agree, it's painfully obvious to me that few are test match players. I doubt they ever practise the forward defensive!
There is a train of thought that you get rid of the short fielders by attacking the bowler and playing your shots. This may work against their own bowlers on English (and Welsh
) pitches but not against this quality of bowler and on Indian pitches.
Entertaining series though, I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did.
Credit must go to India, they bowled better and showed the English batsmen how to make BIG scores.
