INDIA BOWLED OUT ON 178, LOSE THE 3rd TEST AGAINST ENGLAND BY A MASSIVE MARGIN OF 266 RUNS. This was a well deserved win for England as they showed some spectacular all round performance in the 10 sessions. Two 150+ scores & 2 80+ scores by their batsmen in the 1st inns followed by poor batting by our side, highest being Rahanes 54. Agreed that it was a Flat Track & hence, bowlers cant be blamed to a big extent but batsmen surely can be. Anderson shone in Indias 1st inns with his magnificent 5 wicket haul. Gaining 239 lead in the 1st inns & then going ahead to score 205 (declared) gave the hosts a chance to put up a good target of 445 on Board with 1 1/2 days of Match remaining. Again our batsmen failed to perform. Top order collapsed & highest runs yet again came from Rahanes bat - 54*. He played 234 balls in total. Massive respect for him as he was the lone player fighting at his best to save the team. This time it was Moeen Ali who grabbed 6wickets. A dismal performance by the Indian Team. Catch dropped in slips & silly shots by some batsmen accompanied by some poor decisions were the root cause of this defeat. Somewhere, maybe Dhonis captaincy can also be blamed here. Top Order not performing is the biggest worry for India now. Will be hoping Gambhir replaces Dhawan in the next as he does not have any technique and is continuously failing & also that Ashwin is back,maybe these twos potential is what the team needs at this stage. As far as Virat is concerned, he has been disappointing this series but blaming his personal life is even more disappointing on fans part. When he was in relationship last year, even then he did score tons. Just need to believe in him & he will certainly show an Adelaide Test like performance. INDIA NEED TO RECONSIDER & REPLAN SOME OF THEIR STRATEGIES & EVERYTHING WILL GO WELL. IT IS 1-1 AND WITH 2 TESTS LEFT, THIS SERIES HAS ENTERED INTO THE EXCITING STAGE, HOPE THAT THIS SERIES YIELDS A RESULT.
