Former England captains Nasser Hussain and Michael Vaughan have criticized England’s ‘baseball’ style in the Test series against India, saying that the team needs to play according to the situation of the match instead of always having a strategy of playing aggressively.Michael “It was the worst defeat under the leadership of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum and it exposed their tactics,” Vaughan wrote in his column in the Telegraph. They cannot be aggressive at every opportunity. They need to see how Yashasvi and Shubman Gill performed on the third day. Vaughan further wrote, “They bore the pressure for 30 or 40 balls and then they started hitting boundaries. This is what test batting is all about. No one can tell me that watching India bat here was boring. Certainly such a heavy defeat is a warning to Ben Stokes and his players. Hussain said, “Baseball is about being aggressive, but it is also about withstanding pressure. The England team batted only aggressively. Ashwin was not there, India was one bowler less. But our batsmen did not play according to the situation.
