I remember having these same arguements after the second Ashes test when we lost a similar position after Lyon hobbled off.
People are arguing for miracle Cricket. Smash it all over the place but do it to the right ball all the time, oh and make sure you middle it. It doesn't work like that!
We got to 220-2 / 1-1 in this excellent series playing with this mindset. It failed today. That happens.
Maybe we have only found a more entertaining way to lose in India but it certainly beats what came before it.
Of course it can't be expected to work every time, and the approach is far better to what previous touring England sides have forced fans to sit through.
But you can't just sweep aside failures like today based on the big picture approach.
England and Duckett built an incredible platform and have totally thrown it away today. The form of key players is now a major issue. The worst test nation would post better that 112-8 here.
England are a good enough team now to demand higher returns. They want to be the best test side in the world and have the talent to do so. You can't do what England did today and achieve that though. That's why they're rightly getting criticism. They're better than that.
