Former Captain of England, Michael Vaughan, hit Ben Stokes to choose the first day of the first test of the first test against India in Headingley on Friday, June 20. Vaughan said he was “staggered” by the decision, especially taking into account the conditions of dry passage and the ideal time to beat.
After winning the launch, Ben Stokes said “I would try to use the early conditions.” However, the decision was reduced as blue men ended with 359 runs due to the loss of three doctors. Yasasvi Jaiswal scored 101 runs, while Captain Shubman Gill remained unbeaten in 127 in Stumps on the first day.
I was staggered when I heard Ben Stokes go to Bowl first – Michael Vaughan
Michael Vaughan said Ben Stokes ignored the conditions and entrusted too much on statistics. Vaughan said that with the bright sun and the pitch, it should have been a “easy” decision to beat. He added that decisions should be based on current conditions instead of past records.
Your daily dose of cricket!
“I am a little traditionalist in the old school here in Leeds that, when the sun shines, is an easy decision, especially with the accumulation of the test game and it is so dry and so pleasant,” said Vaughan. “I was staggered … when I heard that I was going to Bol first. I thought the traditions have come out out of the window.”
“ I know that England has won that many times in recent times, but you always have to choose your decisions at this time: just because you have won a year ago, two years ago or three years ago, it can not really affect the decision today. And they have allowed India with a young baton line and a new captain to go to play. ”
The humidity and color of the wick were behind the decision: Tim Southee
Bowling consultant Tim Southee supported Ben Stokes’s decision, adding that the pitch had “a little moisture”. Southee stated that the hosts would have their chance to beat soon. He accredited Yasasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant for his outstanding performances.
“It was a hard day, but we will have the opportunity to beat soon. We will be back tomorrow and we will try to make some raids,” said Southee.
“There were twice fantastic, Jaiswal and Pant are class players. Many boys also collided around these blows. The humidity and wick color were behind the decision to make it first.
England is a early threat with a new ball but India fights strongly
England worried Indian openers with the new ball soon. However, Yasasvi Jaiswal and Kl Rahul joined a 91 opening booth. Rahul died for 42 years just before lunch, and Ben Stokes eliminated the debutant Sai Sudharsan by a duck, reducing India to 92/2 at halftime.
Jaiswal rose a century well, his first under English condition, before being overturned by Stokes for 101. Shubman Gill, leading India for the first time, added a collaboration of 129 runs with Jaiswal. Rishab Pant contributed 65 unbeaten when India ended the day with a 359/3 commander.
The home team managed only three doctors, two for Stokes and one for Brydon Cars, mainly due to India’s mistakes, as visitors took a firm control on the first day.
