Although the batting was ordinary I really don't think it is as bad as some make out, our real problem is how on a pitch that had variable bounce in both directions India made 7/443.
The pitch hasn't changed that much and we had India 8/106, the question has to be asked about the bowling, three new balls 443 runs and only 7 wickets! It's like after being shown how to bowl on it by the Indian 1st year player we were all good suddenly!
To me, against test bowlers, that wicket looked like a 300 - 350 run wicket at best from the first ball bowled, our experience much lauded bowling attack was pitiful.
