England succumbed to a brand new low once they misplaced the 3rd Ashes Check in opposition to Australia. This used to be their 9th Check defeat in 2021 equaling Bangladesh’s report which they registered within the yr 2003. England and Bangladesh at the moment are joint-top for many losses through a crew in a calendar yr. Joe Root and his crew performed 15 Checks this yr with victories coming in most effective 4 of them whilst they controlled to attract two suits.

Bangladesh and West Indies are joint-second for struggling 5 defeats this yr. Zimbabwe misplaced 4 Checks whilst Asian groups India and Sri Lanka confronted defeats on 3 events. Pakistan and South Africa misplaced two Checks whilst Afghanistan, Australia, and New Zealand all misplaced a Check each and every.

The 4 wins which the English aspect completed had been all in opposition to the Asian groups Sri Lanka and India. England gained two Checks in the beginning of the yr in opposition to Lankan Lions at their very own yard whilst they beat India two times, as soon as each and every in house and away.

They misplaced a complete of 5 Checks in opposition to India (3 away and a pair of at house), one in opposition to the Kiwis at house and 3 within the ongoing Ashes sequence. It’s been an appalling yr for the 2019 Global Cup Champions as their batting continues to combat within the longest structure of the sport.

With 54 geese in Checks in 2021, England equaled their very own report of registering as many geese which they indexed long ago within the yr 1998. They’re now on the joint-top place for many geese through a crew in a calendar yr. Their batters from positions 1 to 7 on my own have gathered 34 geese which works to turn their combat with the bat particularly in this Ashes excursion.

Excluding for captain Joe Root, no different participant has appeared like scoring runs because the skipper has accumulated report 1708 runs this yr with the second one batter at the back of him being Rory Burns with simply 530 runs. Such used to be the deficient scenario within the batting division that the 3rd maximum supply of runs within the yr for England had been Extras (412).

The West Indies registered 44 geese within the yr 2000 and are moment within the record. Australia and India occupy the 3rd and fourth spot as they indexed 40 and 39 geese within the yr 1999 and 2018 respectively. In 2021, crew India is moment at the back of England with 35 geese to their title.

England has misplaced 8 Checks each and every in 4 other years as they recorded all the ones losses within the years 1984, 1986, 1993 and 2016. With only one sequence victory this yr in opposition to Sri Lanka and particularly shedding the Ashes to competitors Australia, 2021 has on no account been a perfect yr for the England aspect as palms will raised on Joe Root’s captaincy with the crew taking a look down and out within the ongoing Ashes sequence.
