Probably the most spectacular factor for me was the best way the bowling assault mixed. You could possibly inform what everybody’s position was. They usually caught to their job gallantly and have been proper up for the problem, which is precisely what Brendon McCullum needs to see,” Vaughan wrote in his column for The Telegraph.

I can see Bashir’s potential, however Leach outbowled him in Multan, and had an excellent season for Somerset. I’m a bit old style with spin bowling. Your finger spinner simply must bowl, bowl, bowl. That’s the strategy to study, get used to situations, make refined variations to your launch level, and angle of assault. Bashir simply has not bowled that a lot this summer time,” Vaughan added.
