The way they beat England at Headingley last year after conceding defeat in the first Test match, it was not a fluke but the result of some brilliant cricket over five days. It’s disappointing that their performance graph had gone down after that in this way. Yes, winning in India is difficult but the team should be fighting over four-five days of the Test match. ”
