India vs England 2016: 5 reasons why the England spinners have been outbowled by their Indian counterparts

#2 Utilisation of the crease and angles

Rashid and company need to be more flexible in their approach

Use of angles as a spinner approaches the crease is paramount when the conditions are not heavily tilted in their favour. And this is one area where the England spinners were miles behind their Indian counterparts.

Ashwin is an astute thinker of the game and thus when he goes about his business in a very studious manner it is no surprise. However, on similar lines Ravindra Jadeja and newcomer Jayant Yadav too resorted to using different angles and positions on the crease to befuddle the batsmen.

Rashid and Moeen were far more stoic in their approach and thus became predictable in their approach and made life easier for the Indian batsmen. They will have to be more flexible in their approach and try out different things to outdo the competent Indian batsmen.
