Former England skipper Michael Vaughan
The current Test between England and India is being played in Birmingham’s Edgbaston, and former England captain Michael Vaughan has lauded the efforts of England’s bowlers.
Despite allowing 416 runs in the first innings, the hosts fought back to restrict the Men in Blue to 245 runs in the second and make the Test match competitive.
Vaughan believes that the bowlers also deserve appreciation for their gallant efforts, despite the fact that England’s batting side has garnered the most of the limelight.
Vaughan took to Twitter on Monday and posted:
“All the talk about England’s batting is great but don’t underestimate the way they are bowling very strong batting line ups Out in the 2nd innings of the Test consistently to give them these chases .. #ENGvIND.”
