Bazball Faces Ultimate Test: Vaughan Urges England To Play For A Draw
BBC Test Match Special: Former England captain Michael Vaughan has criticised Ben Stokes’ side as they stare down the barrel against India in the Edgbaston Test, with their much-celebrated Bazball approach under severe pressure.
England, needing an improbable 608 runs to win, ended day four at 72 for 3, still 536 runs adrift with just seven wickets in hand. With a daunting final day ahead, Vaughan questioned whether England would finally abandon their “win-only” mindset and dig in to play for a draw — a result they have seldom embraced under Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum.
Speaking to BBC Test Match Special, Vaughan said: “Bazball’s going to get asked the ultimate question tomorrow. Are the team and the players going to go completely against what their natural instincts are to do? You’ve got to get what’s best on offer. And what’s best on offer at the minute is a draw.”
