We review the fifth Test between India and England in Dharamshala – where India stamped their authority with a win by an innings and 64 runs.
Talking Points:
- A one-sided – and thoroughly expected – end to a Test series in India
- The Bazball delusion
- England's inadequate bowling resources thoroughly exposed
- Kuldeep the genius - a wristspinner with both variety and control
- R Ashwin caps off his 100th Test with signature spells
- The first morning - when Bumrah and Siraj made the ball talk
- The challenge against spin for Duckett, Pope, Stokes, and Bairstow
- Did England Bazball enough or too much? And why it doesn't matter
- When Shubman Gill was at his fluent best
- The problem with England playing Anderson and hardly bowling him
- England not replacing the injured Leach and Rehan - and over-bowling Bashir
