After going down by 95 runs to India in the fifth and last ODI to finish on the wrong side of a 5-0 whitewash, England captain Alastair Cook Tuesday blamed his side's poor batting.

"Bit of a shock. We batted really badly. We looked set for win after being 129 without loss. But we lost too many wickets quickly, as it happened in every game," Cook said after the Eden Gardens game.
