Published by Webster

England was in a strong position after the first day of the final Test against Sri Lanka at the Kia Oval. As it looked the white-wash was inevitable as despite the batting collapse Sri Lanka reduced to 5/93 and took a 62-run lead. However, in the second innings like a few times before the England batting collapsed trying to be ultra-aggressive under the new regime and were bundled out for mere 156. Michael Vaughan was critical of the side’s approach. “I felt that they disrespected Test cricket and disrespected Sri Lanka in the third Test by being over-aggressive with both bat and in their field placings,” he wrote in his column for The Telegraph. “England have made a bit of a habit of becoming a bit complacent after a good period, I think of the start of the Ashes, or earlier this year in Rajkot and I hope it serves as a wake-up call for the tougher Tests that lie in wait in 2025,” he added.

It changed the entire momentum of the game. You work so hard to get rid of that shine, and we did that. Once the ball was changed, it was a whole different game,” the 37-year-old said ahead of the start of the fourth Day’s play. “I don’t know which year the balls were,” Mathews added. “You’ve got to have a set of rules where you determine how the ball is going to be changed… I don’t know, but it can be …
