England Coach And Captain Root To 'Discuss' Whether To Make A Complaint Against Motera Pitch

England coach Chris Silverwood has remained non-committal on whether he or the England team management will complain about the pitch in the third Test that ended inside two days with India winning it

Silverwood said he and Joe root will sit down to decide the course of action.

"We are disappointed that we sat here when there should be three days of cricket left. I am sure a few spectators are [upset] as well. Whatever the pitch did or didn't do, India ultimately played better than us on it. But it pushed us to the extremes of what most of our players have experienced," Silverwood told the media on Friday.

"Joe and I have to sit down, have a conversation and see where we go with it. We do have to get better on these pitches and we do have to accept there are places where we could have improved…I am not saying we've just got to accept things, I'm just saying at this moment I've not got anything to add. Not in a position to say what we should or shouldn't do. It's a conversation between myself and Joe at the moment."

Even England skipper Joe Root picked five wickets as most of the wickets came off balls that held their line.

While former cricketers like Yuvraj Singh, Michael Vaughan and Alastair Cook have criticised the pitch, others like former England captain Mike Atherton defended it, saying that India applied themselves better.
