NEW DELHI: Coach Brendon McCullum has expressed his belief that England's attacking approach in the opening Ashes Test "validated" their style of play, despite suffering a two-wicket defeat at Edgbaston. McCullum stated that England would continue to be even more aggressive in the second match of the series.
Throughout the Test, England appeared to be in control, but Australia's cautious approach ultimately prevailed, thanks to a match-winning 55-run ninth-wicket partnership between captain Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon.
