@Source: sports.info
England suffered an embarrassing clean sweep in the three-match ODI series against India by losing the third match on February 12 in Ahmedabad. England lost the third ODI by a huge margin of 142 runs, thanks to India's phenomenal all-round performance. Batting first, the Men in Blue put up a monumental total of 356 runs on the scoreboard with the help of Shubman Gill's seventh ODI ton. The Indian bowlers came up with a collective effort to give England an embarrassing loss. Advertisment Meanwhile, former England batter Kevin Pietersen lashed out at the English team for not having a proper net session to improve their strategy against spinners. He asserted that Tom Banton hadn't had any practice sessions since his arrival for the series and had wasted his time playing golf. "The 2-hour flight from Dubai across here. He (Tom Banton) was on the golf course yesterday. He wasn't batting, and where have the issues come? The start, 1 for 60, 2 for 80. And then, what happens? None of them can play spin. And how do you improve playing spin?" said Pietersen. We need to find ways to play that style better: Jos Buttler England skipper Jos Buttler talked about the series in the post-match presentation and said that their approach was right but they were unsuccessful in executing them. He also praised Gill for his terrific knock which helped the Indian team to put up a great total. "Similar to the whole tour, we threatened in stages but were outplayed by a fantastic team. Our approach is the right one, it's just that we haven't executed well. We need to find ways to play that style better." "They put a really good score on the board. Shubman played a great innings, we were going to have to play really well to chase that down. We got off to a great start again but it's a familiar story for us. We need to find a way to extend that, and bat for longer."
