They have better players of spin than we do. Pitches are made to suit them. We play them at home and they can't touch us.
Its always been that way.
Not so. In 2013 in India, we won a four test series 2-1 with one match drawn. Of course back then we had Pietersen and Cook at their best.They have better players of spin than we do. Pitches are made to suit them. We play them at home and they can't touch us.

Don't think he's got much option has he. If he doesn't he's got to be facing the push.Another battering, do you think cook will step down??
Not sure why everyone is so down on English, particularly in the One day game, England have made a massive jump forward. India have not lost an ODI at home in around a year... The "arrogance" of rocking up with 4 seamers, I would suggest it isnt arrogance, we just have not got a top line spinner. I rate Moeen, however he isnt a top line spinner but batting at 7 he is very very crucial.
I actually admire English Cricket, think back 20 years ago, we were in the doldrums had no clear plan to take the national team forward. Now we have a group of players who are very competitive in all forms of the game, in a period of the game where the strength of all nations is very high.
If our only our Club and international team could do similar!
Think the stat was though that our spinners had taken just 2 wickets for something like 330 runs.Seamers are all carbon copies of each other, no variation all mid 80's up and down.
Easy pickings.
We lack a toe crushing 90mph like Mitchell Starc, shame Tymal Mills injury problems mean he can only bowl 4 overs a day otherwise he'd be ideal.
Big issue is no spinner with control no way on this planet should a spinner only bowl 6 of 50 overs in India.
