| I've never seen Australia play with so much fear: Michael Vaughan | | | agencies
LONDON, July 29: After yet another topsy-turvy day of Test cricket at the Oval, Australia took a 12-run lead against England in the fifth Ashe Test. Australia were bowled out for 295 in the closing stages of the day.
After an exciting batting display by England on the opening day, the Australia were ontent with a tentative approach as England's seamers bowled with immense control and discipline.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan says it was the worst he's ever seen Australia bat.
They are taking home the urn, but I've never seen Australia play with so much fear," Vaughan told BBC Test Match Special.
"They are usually so aggressive and try to take the game forward.
"They have just sat in to bat a long period of time without remembering you have to put a bit of pressure on the bowlers.
"This morning I thought it was the worst I've ever seen Australia bat in my time watching them. They never play like that.
Former Australia captain Mark Taylor called for the Australians to be "more proactive".
"No doubt England bowled well, but you have to tell the opposition you are after them as much as they are after you," Taylor said on Sky Sports commentary.
"I'm not suggesting for a minute we try to match Bazball, but be a bit more proactive." |
