Michael Vaughan slammed the compatriot Kevin Peterson: ‘I think he is talking nonsense’ – you have to know everyone. Cricket news
Former England star Kevin Pietersen ignited a lively debate on social media, after claiming that the test batting 20–25 years ago was “double toughened”. Taking the X (east), the 45-year-old supported 22 mythological bowlers from the era to support their arguments and challenged fans to name 10 modern-day bowlers who could match.
“Waqar [Younis]Shoaib [Akhtar], [Wasim] Akram, [Saqlain] Mushtaq, [Anil] Kumble, [Javagal] Shrinath, Harbhajan [Singh], [Allan] Donald, [Shaun] Pollk, [Lance] Cluser, [Darren] Gough, [Glenn] McGrath, [Brett] Took, [Shane] Warne, [Jason] Glippy, [Shane] deeply concerned, [Daniel] Vetori, [Chris] Cairns, Chaminda Vas, Muttiah Murali[tharan]Kurtle [Ambrose]Kurtney [Walsh] And the list can move forward … I have named 22 above. Please name me 10 modern day bowlers who can compare the above names? Pietersen wrote.Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel.

Fellow former England captain Michael Vaughan took a firm stand against Peterson’s approach during a discussion on Sony Sports Network.“I think he is talking nonsense,” Von said. “I have seen the last six or seven years closely. You now see Indian seamers, they are as good as they were.Vaughan defended the current generation of bowlers from all over the world, pointing to his quality and level of competition in recent years.“You go to South Africa, Rabada and Jansen. You go to New Zealand, Bowlt, Southee. I have loved the Test match cricket for the last few years because it has been competitive. I think this era of batting, I don’t think it’s become easier than any other era. I think I think some amazing bowlers.”Pieterson’s tweet may be to spark the conversation, but it is clear that he has more than he has bargained.
