England’s batters must learn when to park their attacking ‘Bazball’ style and take a more cautious “old school” approach during the second Ashes Test, says former captain Michael Vaughan.<\/b><\/p>\n

Australia are 1-0 up in the series after England crumbled to an astonishing two-day defeat<\/a> in the first Test in Perth where the tourists’ shot selection was heavily criticised.<\/p>\n

Ben Stokes’ side now face the Aussies in a day-night Test in Brisbane which will be played with a pink ball. <\/p>\n

Australia have a formidable record in day-night Tests having won 13 out of 14, including all three against England.<\/p>\n

Vaughan told BBC Radio 5 Live’s Ashes second Test preview show<\/a> there was an “arrogance” about England’s approach in Perth and they need to have better game awareness at the Gabba. <\/p>\n

“This England side dance down. They run towards the danger,” Vaughan said.<\/p>\n

“I’m not too sure that’s a sensible way to go with the ball zipping around. Play the old school way.<\/p>\n

“I’m not saying go into a shell and play like Geoff Boycott or Alastair Cook all the time. But please use your sense when the ball is zipping around slightly.<\/p>\n

“They are the great entertainers but they haven’t won a five-match series in the last three or four years. I will give England a tip. It’s not working.”<\/p>\n

Vaughan said England, in particular, should look to frustrate left-arm quick Mitchell Starc in Brisbane with a more measured approach.<\/p>\n

Starc has 81 wickets at an average of 17.09 in day-night matches and is widely considered the world’s best bowler with a pink ball in hand.<\/p>\n

“When Mitchell Starc comes into the attack, he’s the aggressor and has to take wickets,” added Vaughan, who captained England to an Ashes series victory in 2005.<\/p>\n

“So if you leave a few outside off stump, there’s no way Starc isn’t going to bowl one straight because he is there to get wickets. It’s having that sense and game awareness.<\/p>\n

“Whatever England do, they have to play a lot better. They need a stronger game for longer periods.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
