India the no. 1 ranked team in the world has been displaying a very poor performance.Its 2-0 down in the series and the first day of the third match has gone in England's side.What do you think is the problem with the Indian side??What is the reason according to you that it isn't playing at its best level or is it the English side too good for the Indian team??

India were under prepared and lost zaheer and Shewag (was not there in first 2 test) they are India's impact player , India has batting is struggling expect dravid nobody has applied well In India bowling is not as good England team specially without Zaheer and they also lack pace if you consider to England bowling And mainly England has great team which would be able to beat almost any team in the world and with India being under prepared it just made their task lot easier

Indian bowlers beside lacking the pace also lack 'the urge' to take more wickets...the intend is not there..the length which they bowl is also not good...they have to understand the condition of the pitch and then bowl according to it..

i would agree with you. india played as if they are not even in the mood to play. their batting was pathetic and they didn't look sharp when they were bowling and fielding. the worst thing is the chances that they put down. fielding of poor quality and then they dropped vital catches. and now this resulted in a huge score from England. they will make sure they don't loose from this stage.

The reason for England's triumph is very clear, Indian batsmen are not sure of their shot selection. Atleast they should try to stick to the pitch for some time.

I think you are right but the important thing which is lacking is confidence and enthusiasm,plus England is playing exceptionally amazing cricket

there caption need to learn to play he thinks it is a 20 20 or a odi he went out there and tried to hit sixes when he should be calm and do blocks and singls some 4 and look how he got out trying to hit a six also he should do a good example and not such bad example to the team and indias bowling is so bad look at England just Anderson is enough for india
