The Ashes: Only thing England have done right is turn up on time, says Michael Vaughan
India Today
The Ashes: England were skittled for 185 on Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test as their hopes of fighting back in Melbourne took a huge blow in Melbourne. Michael Vaughan questioned the visitors' tactics, including their selection calls.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan took a dig at Joe Root's visiting team, saying the only thing that they have done right in the Ashes in Australia is turning up on time. Vaughan's comments came after England's hopes of fighting back in the 5-Test series went up in smoke after they were bundled out for 185 on Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test even as Australia are leading 2-0 in the series.
Australia ended Day 1 at 61/1, getting off to another good star as England bowlers face a stiff test of restricting Australia with very little to defend. Captain Joe Root hit a fifty but there wasn't any other decent contribution from the rest of the batters. Australia captain Cummins, who returned for the 3rd Test after missing the Adelaide victory, picked up 3 wickets in the first session, including that of opener Haseeb Hameed for 0.
