Jade Dernbach feel England will have to come up with a better presentation in the second ODI next to India if they are to rebound back in the five-match ODI series.
Alistair Cook's team goes into Monday's second ODI at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi on the back of a devastating beat in the series opener in Hyderabad.
England were compressed by 126 runs after Mahendra Singh Dhoni put the game out of reach with some atrocious powerplay hitting, and their batting line up then misshapen under pressure from India's spinners.
Dhoni made a winning 87 from 70 balls in the match on Friday, as well as 10 fours and a six as India post an impressive total of 300-7 in their 50 overs.
The hosts then skittle England's batsmen out for just 174, the only distinguished presentation coming from captain Cook who makes a disobedient 63 ball 60.
Cook and Co. know they be able to and must do improved than that if they are to put off the series very rapidly slip out of their clutch. And Dernbach believe there is no improved place to start than with the Indian captain himself.
"Clearly, he's an unbelievable player," said Dernbach. "As a bowling element, we just require finding a way of receiving him out, and restrict him - as is the case in any game, in any power play.
"That's the thrilling bit of the game, and we just need to find a way of contain the runs and judgment ways to get wickets.
"He's a great player, as is the Indian side in general. We just need to find a way of being better than him on the day, find a way of restrict him and getting him out.
"In the games where India enclose done well, he seems to have be the man who has been there to be quite unhelpful - so we have to find a way of getting him out.
"With his aptitude to hit boundaries, our margins for error are quite small. As you saw the other night, a pair of yorkers which were missing by a couple of inches found their way to the boundary for six.
"That just prove the limits for error are quite small, and we need to be improved at nailing our skills."
Much attention has focused on England's give way at the hands of the Indian spinners in the opener.
And India batsman Virat Kholi told England that with circumstances on the sub-continent favoring slow bowlers, and given England's problems facing spin on those surfaces; it was a approach that his side will aim to employ lengthily throughout the series.
"We're going to look to use spin as our power," said Kholi." Not forget the fast bowlers - who are very accomplished as well
"England obviously did move violently in the first match against spin, so we'll almost certainly try to capitalize on those middle over’s where they were not that sure.
"That will be our power, particularly playing on these kinds of wickets in India."
However, though Dernbach admit to England's weakness next to spin in India, he is well aware that there are a number of areas in which the side must get better.
"There are quite a few areas we spoke about, where we went wrong," Dernbach added.
"I don't believe it was just in the spin section - there were a whole lot of things, and we just didn't play well in universal. We need to get better at every surface of the game.
"These circumstances are very dissimilar to us, something we don't experience very often back home. So we're going to have to become accustomed as best we can, and find a way - that's the thing concerning this area, to find a way of winning.
"We can't really come up with excuses because of different pitches - we know what they're like; we've had preparation days - we just need to find a way of winning cricket matches. That's what we'll do," Dernbach finished.
