Feb. 2 (CRICKETNMORE) - Upset with the teams batting, England ODI captain Eoin Morgan has labelled it as their worst performance in a "couple of years" after the visitors witnessed a dramatic collapse in the third and final T20 International against India which they lost by 75 runs on Wednesday. The visitors lost their eight wickets in a span of eight runs.
Speaking at the post match press conference, Morgan said,"It was very disappointing. For maybe 60 per cent of the game we were competitive and right in amongst it, but fell away terribly towards the end. We committed a cardinal sin of losing two inform players in one over and allowed India to build a little bit of pressure and we weren't up to it at all,".

Morgan said bating has been England's strong point for quite some time now but feels in this series the bowlers have outperformed the batsmen.
"No, I can't (put a finger on why the collapse happened).We haven't produced a batting performance as bad as that in a couple of years. We pride ourselves on our batting, it has been our strong point for a long time but in this series our bowlers have outperformed our batsmen," he said.
