The England coach Trevor Bayliss admitted his team had been totally outplayed by India on the fourth day in Chennai as they conceded the largest total in their history.And Bayliss, who leaves the tour on Monday night to return to Australia for a hernia operation, conceded such a chastening day might influence Alastair Cook as he reflects on whether he wants to continue as England captain.Criticising Englands bowling and catching, Bayliss, who has supervised the fielding training for the last 18 months in the absence of a specialist fielding coach, also suggested there was a lack of captaincy experience in the squad should Cook decide to step down but agreed that Joe Root was the leading candidate.We got totally outplayed today, for sure, Bayliss said. We just werent in the game today.Youve got to give credit to the Indian batters, who played extremely well. But at times we struggled to bowl to the fields that the captain had set. That just makes it very difficult.Our catching is still below par - I think the last three catches weve dropped have only cost us 500 - and thats disappointing and something weve got to keep working on. Theres no short cut to that - weve just got to do a lot of it. Were a team that probably havent got a lot of natural athletes. Weve got some very good cricketers but we havent got a lot of slippers. Weve just got to get better. Its as simple as that.Asked whether such a tough day could have a bearing on Cooks decision, Bayliss said possibly but stated that he would not attempt to persuade him either way.Thats a decision only he will know the answer to, he said. Hes done it for so long, whether I say yes or no, it wont change his mind whether he keeps going or stops. Im not big on the technology, but Im sure well speak on the phone at some stage over Christmas.If he keeps going, fantastic; if he stops, thats up to him, and Ive got no problems with that either. I wont actually sit down to have a chat with him. Weve got six or seven months till our next Test match, so theres plenty of time for him to have a think about it.I dont think theres too many of our players whove actually captained too many teams, or any of their county teams.Joe Root has done a few games on tour, when Cookies had a bit of time off or when hes off the ground. Joe is obviously our number one bat, and is highly-respected by the players. Hes one of those guys who leads by example, and I cant see that being any different when and if he takes over … if he takes over, I suppose, because we havent actually made that decision either.That will come next if Cookie does step down. But he seems like hes the leading candidate at this stage.If it seems odd that Bayliss is leaving the tour slightly early - it was unclear why he could not wait the extra day - it is in part because he wishes to return for the limited-overs leg having made a full recovery. He is scheduled to miss the Caribbean tour in February and March.Red Schoendienst Cardinals Jersey .
