LONDON. — England defended their approach to cricket after Australia coach Darren Lehmann said yesterday they were a “dour side”.
Although England completed a third straight Ashes Test series win at home to Australia last month by taking a five-match series 3-0, they were criticised for an excessively defensive approach with both bat and ball.
Lehmann, speaking shortly before England announced their Ashes squad, was asked on a BBC radio show hosted by former England captain Michael Vaughan, whom he played alongside at Yorkshire, what he thought of England’s style. — AFP.
