IND vs Eng, second Test: ‘He can not win’ – the former England captain asked to bat for Ben Stokes and Cum. Cricket news
Former England captain Michael Vaughan has argued to play for a draw on the last day with Ben Stokes and CO as he cannot win the Edgbaston Test from the post.“They can’t win the game,” Vaughan told BBC cricket.“India has completely dominated the Test match with great skills, great discipline. This is what I want to see from England tomorrow. A strange manner, this day is coming where the hawls cannot come on five days and even think about winning.“Have they got the determination to set tick, skill, and try and get a draw? Winning a Test match is the next most thing to be a draw. If they just remove it and just say, Oh, you know, the way you play, we are always playing aggressively on the front leg, we will leave early tomorrow. Has they got skill set and mentality and have the mentality to try the whole day and reach the bus for Lord’s in bus? We will wait and see.,Vaughan reported that in 34 tests under the captaincy of Stokes, England has prepared only once-a rain-affected game-21 winning-21 and 12 defeat. He argued that to succeed in the major series, especially against top sides, England’s mentality needs to be moved.Vaughan said at the Test Match Special, “Bazball is going to ask the last question tomorrow. Is the team and the players fully going to know what their natural tendency to do? What is the best on this proposal.
“If you want to win a big range against India’s choice at home in five matches and you want to go to Australia, then I think it is impossible to have a mentality that we win now, we go for all. We do not play for a draw.“A draw for England from this situation, and I hope they will get it more in a kind of success, if they can get away from here with a draw, it is almost better than the victory of the previous week as it is completely against their natural trade.”
