Brook and Bethell throwing away their wickets yesterday when India couldn't buy a wicket are to blame for this loss. But fair play to India for never giving up.

They were actually being surprisingly sporting thereI genuinely thought they'd let England score a boundary.
Same for India in first MatchThose six drops by England made the difference between winning and losing the deciding match.
Jaiswal dropped so many that match
Also Akash deep this match and also Siraj yesterday
Lot of scope for both teams to improve fielding.
India with uncles was better fielding team than these youngsters,coaches will have to work overtime to improve stuff

Would it have been "a travesty" if England won that 3-1.
2-2 is no doubt a fair result, but suggesting it would have been a travesty is a bit extreme. Poor comment from Nasser.

Woakes’ injury was the prime reason though.Those six drops by England made the difference between winning and losing the deciding match.
That is worldwide phenomenon not restricted to England
Bet it McG or Wanderers or Edgbaston or Lords or Oval
Yeah India had a lot of fans in Australia for the series! It’s there number one sport but don’t remember the last series we played having so much Indian support..

Great test but, England serial bottlers.
The last word that I would use to describe what we've witnessed yesterday and today.
David Hughes in the dark after 9 pm, brilliant memory. No lights then.Was hoping for a David Hughes (against Gloucester) knock by Atkinson towards the end there, but mostly it was the dropped catches that cost England the game.
Yeh I don’t mind his aggression and chatter - so long as he can take it back which he seems able to do. Cricket would be so boring with teams full of nice chaps. He’s certainly watchable whatever the situationSuperb match. Superb series. A fair outcome overall.
On a side note Siraj is fucking box office. He lives every ball. Wonderful bowler.

All rushed through for the hundred, dog shit.
Oh for the days of Gentlemen and Players!Yeh I don’t mind his aggression and chatter - so long as he can take it back which he seems able to do. Cricket would be so boring with teams full of nice chaps. He’s certainly watchable whatever the situation
Isn't that when Jack Bond at 9 p.m. said he could see the moon and the umpire said if you can see that far you've no problem?David Hughes in the dark after 9 pm, brilliant memory. No lights then.
The prime reason we lost this was the folly/arrogance of picking Bethell who has played virtually no first class cricket and when he did play he averaged 11 !!! Surely someone needs to ask Keys/McC/Stokes the question!!
We have learnt that he isn’t ready for test match crickets

You’ve been listening to Nasser!Absolutely gutted. But 2-2 a fair result in the end. It’d be a travesty if England would have won that 3-1 imho
