The spinners should work on hitting the perfect length

During the tour to Bangladesh, the England spin bowlers were out bowled by the hosts by a fair margin. This was mainly due to the fact the English bowlers tried to do too much and never maintained any pressure on the batsmen. This was due to the fact that the English spinners tried to bowl wide of the stumps and when the ball did not turn it became quite easy to play through the line.

Bangladesh spinners, on the other hand, targeted the stumps more and forced the batsmen to play more often than not. On low and slow pitches, this are the tactics which should be followed. A lesson which the English spinners should learn and execute.
