Twitterati reacts as India nosedive to another series loss in England
England humbled India to win the Pataudi Trophy for the third time in a row
Mumbai: England embarrassed India as they defeated the listless visitors at the Oval to win the match by an inning and 244 runs and seal an emphatic 3-1 series win.
India’s abysmal showing following their Lord’s victory has been a talking point on twitter as well.
Here are some of those reactions.
1st Test: 5 days. 2nd and 3rd Test: 4+ days. 4th and 5th Test: 3+ days. Keep playing and you may get a cracking T20 by month end

— Sujan Rao (@sujanrao) August 17, 2014you can find many explanations for poor performance but none for an innings that lasts 30 overs.

— George Dobell (@GeorgeDobell1) August 17, 2014Genuine question to Indian fans: if your team wins the one-day series, will it make up for this?

— Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) August 17, 2014Disappointed by the lack of respect for the Pataudi Trophy. What's the big idea of having this trophy if England celebrate with another cup?
