I wouldn’t agree with that, England did win the series but I personally felt underwhelmed by the overall performance. England got very lucky with the toss and the weather at Lords, without the three match turning innings from Curran, Woakes and Buttler none of whom are front line batsmen they would have been well beaten in this series by now. Only India’s total lack of preparation and England’s bowling helped them to scrape through. The batting regularly collapses and the slip catching is often very poor as well.
With a complete dearth of opening or no3 batsmen around and any obvious replacements for Broad and Anderson seemingly no where on the scene the short term future for English cricket is not that rosy ATM.
