Team India should blame themselves for the drubbing as they allowed the hosts to wriggle out of a tight situation on the opening day and then frittered away a good position whilebatting in the first innings. From then, the visitors could never really get back into the game. Only Sachin Tendulkar provided some resistance with a gritty 56 that came of 86 deliveries, while most of the other batsmen sucumbed tamely on a Trent Bridge track which still appeared good for batting.India captain Mahendra Singh rightly admitted that a cramped schedule and lack of rest after the West Indies series were the factors responsible for the visitor's poor showing in the tour of England so far. India will have to win rest two test matches to maintain their number one status. ICC's Test rankings are to be announced after the series.
