13 Tests, 11 Wins… Then why is Steve Waugh not liking England’s baseball strategy? raised questions

Sydney. The baseball strategy of England cricket team coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes has been a hit in Test cricket so far. With the help of this formula, the English team has so far won 11 out of 13 Tests. Before the Ashes series, former Australia captain Steve Waugh has questioned this strategy of McCullum and Stokes. Waugh has given a big warning to the English team, saying that if they do not have an alternative plan to win at all costs, then their ‘baseball’ strategy may backfire.

First of all, it is important to know here that what is this baseball strategy? Under the baseball strategy, England batsmen bat aggressively even in Test matches. At present, the English team does T20-like batting in Test cricket as well, that is, it scores brisk runs and puts pressure on the opposition team. Veteran Steve Waugh believes that this move will not always work.

Waugh questions baseball strategy
Steve Waugh told the website ‘cricket.com.au’, “There is a big question mark on the ‘baseball’ strategy. What is the team’s alternate plan? It won’t always work if they don’t have an alternate plan. England have shown that they are good enough to pursue this style of cricket, but they will be really tested against a world class bowling attack. Australia has such a bowling attack.
