England v India: Michael Vaughan ‘staggered’ by Headingley toss decision
Vaughan, who caught the victory of England in 2005 ashes, believes that he should trust the conditions more on Friday morning, when Stokes’ decision.
“You always need to choose your decisions at that moment, not what you do here many years ago or other times. Today it cannot affect what the decision is.” He said.
“You’re looking at the UK side and the forces are on a stroke. And now there’s an inexperience in Bowling.
British Fast Bowling Advisor Tim Southee said the decision was partially affected by the green color of the field on Thursday.
New Zealandalı, “Yesterday, if there was a small door color and some help, some moisture left, probably this morning would be.” He said. “That was the thought behind the decision.
“You look at the surface and you decide that you think it will give you the best chance. Not always right.”
The captains of England have infamous examples that choose to go on the field first, just for the decision of recoil.
Nasser Hussain did this in the first Ashes test against Australia in Brisbane in 2002, and England never recovered. David Gower placed the Australians in this place in 1989, only for tourists to declare 601-7.
On the other hand, Stokes asked for the first bat in Trent Bridge in 2022 from New Zealand. Black caps collapsed to 553, but England finished a fourth innings run with the courtesy of Jonny Bairstow, the first example of ‘baseball’.
Therefore, the wisdom of Stokes’ decision in this test will emerge for the next four days, and the British Pace-Bowling Maestro Jasprit Bumrah will be greatly influenced.
“It was a good step, so it’s not easy to restrict runs,” Vaughan said. “I will say that Stokes are still positive and let’s buy seven small doors again tomorrow.
“We don’t know for sure until Jasprit Bumrah Bowl on it. He can take you out with something. Until he sees it, I will keep my decision on how straight this field is.”
