Farokh Engineer cannot comprehend how India lost 0-4 again after watching their annihilation in England last year. More than the disappointment of not being given a chance to help the Indian team on their 2010 trip to England, the Lancashire-based former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman is upset that the team has not learnt their lessons after the disastrous result in Old Blighty.Engineer (73) is currently in Chennai for a coaching stint. He spoke to MiD DAY on Monday.


Fletcher's record as India coach: tests: 14u00a0 won: 3 lost: 8 drawn: 3

Excerpts from an interview:

I expected a loss, but not humiliation
I expected India's Test series defeat to Australia after the dismal performance in England. India had to go back to the drawing board after the England tour and I don't think the effort was made to do that.
What I didn't expect was the humiliation in Australia. The opposition is nowhere near the Australian team of the past. At best, it's a pretty decent outfit. Peter Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus are not world-class bowlers by any chance.
