IND vs NZ: Michael Vaughan Selects His Side
Former English cricketer Michael Vaughan has picked his side in the finals. Vaughan is confident that New Zealand are going to win the tie with ease. Vaughan backed his choice by saying that the English conditions are similar to that of New Zealand and it will benefit the Kiwis. The Duke ball which will be used in the finals will also give Kiwis the upper hand.
“New Zealand (will win). English conditions, the Duke ball, and India on the back of a busy schedule… they’ll arrive pretty much a week before and go straight into it, [and] New Zealand have two test matches, you could argue warmups against England to get them prepared for the final. So it’s quite an obvious one for me,” Michael Vaughan said on Spark Sport.
“New Zealand will be better prepared and they’ll have more of a group of players who’ve played more cricket with the red ball, particularly the Duke ball here in the UK. New Zealand, all the way,” the 46-year-old added.
It is not the first time that Vaughan has dissed India before a series. Vaughan’s Twitter account is filled with his opinions about India. It will be fair to say that Vaughan wants to see the dominating Indian Test side fall on their knees. However, in the past six months, teams like Australia and England have been unsuccessful in beating India in the red-ball competition.
