“Lovely to see Common sense Ball” – Michael Vaughan trolls Bazball appluading England’s batting after 1st Innings in 5th Test.
In the fourth Test in Ranchi, Joe Root ended a series of low scores with his 31st Test century on February 23, rescuing England after they were struggling at 112/5 on Day 1. England faced criticism for reckless batting, adhering to Bazball tactics.
Root, guilty of such shots previously, redeemed himself with a gritty century, guiding England to 302/7 by day’s end. Partnering with Ben Foakes, Root displayed orthodox cricket, countering Indian bowlers effectively.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan, while lauding England’s resilience, subtly hinted at the limitations of the Bazball approach.
Micheal Vaughan tweeted “Lovely to see Common sense Ball .. #INDvsENG.”
