As Andrew Strauss tuned-up for the week Lord's Test with a hundred of invincibility to go with the 78 he made in the first round, the India must be hoping that their instinct for survival kicks in until their cricket in the three-day match against Somerset was disastrous, despite the match petering out for a game zero.
It is perhaps too early to describe their tour as being in shreds, despite Peter Trego dismantling their bowling with a brutally hit 85 which took 57 balls and included seven fours in six and seven.
But unless significant improvements are made, they may struggle to match in sri Lanka, who were more lame than game such as the summer warm-up Act.
Arrived in England last Tuesday, India gave a practical printing did not want to be here.
Yesterday, after the swaggering century from Suresh Raina had brought them a semblance of dignity, they took the field - decision of the Somerset next to not enforce the monitoring - without Sachin Tendulkar and Zaheer Khan.
A call to the Manager of the Tower, Anirudh Chaudhry, said that the injury was not the reason for which that they stayed in the locker room, and that both were actually at rest.
Odd mogul could have used these tactics in the past, but there is a sense stars of the Indian Premier League, with the premiums added for the Indians, is wasting players and making modern maharajas of all the.
On Saturday, VVS Laxman, which was founded in his game, said that experienced test players will always adapt.
However, experienced test players also know that bowlers need overs in the legs and the batsmen, even those who are also good as Tendulkar, enjoy time to the fold.
After all, this is why Strauss, rather than have more net with Graham Gooch, is the unprecedented move to guest for Somerset that they offer the only chance of a decent bat before the series.
It is plausible that the absence of Zaheer was a tactical move, given the vulnerability seen Strauss against bowlers fought his left arm.
It pretty much him bowling at half-cock in the first round so if he is himself save ambushed in Lord of the next Thursday for the test, it was an interesting approach. You do not tend to rise to reveals lounging around your sweat.
Without cause Strauss a few problems, Captain of England simply selected other offshore among the hundreds of simpler that he never scored.
He was not bowling of Bill, despite the violent assault of the Trego, especially against Amit Mishra, thus believing. Mishra actually beat the bat several times in the first round with his wrist spin.
But yesterday, he went the distance with all eight hit sixes, including that of Strauss, arriving off the coast of his bowling. Indeed, one of his overs cost 28 after Trego struck for four successive sixes, Miss hundreds Somerset after complete humiliation by declaring at tea.
Earlier in the day, Raina, this is certain to play in the Test next week, appreciated its own fireworks by joining club hundreds here, the last 70 court is to stick with Munaf, No 11 the India Patel.
As soon as that Patel market, Raina was used in the fashion of the IPL, something it quite effectively to Chennai SuperKings. Its ruined assault certainly figures of Charl Willoughby, who have been exemplary Saturday after he claimed by high order of the India.
Willoughby finished with six for 76, his left arm swing is not not that something offered by the England attack next week after Tim Bresnan and Stuart Broad was included in the team. Wide is a melon bang-it-in trying to get face of drummer bullet and bluster.
For the moment, the captain and the coach is feeling its aggression complements other launchers, but less than the drummers of India knuckle down, something much more polished should be sufficient to bring them down.
