Ashes 2023: It's Exciting To Watch - David Boon On England's Fearless Approach

Australia would be over the moon after winning the opening Test match narrowly against England. David Boon feels that England’s game plan is quite exciting. David Boon pointed out that England’s batters have got the courage by playing a fearless brand of cricket.

All eyes would be on Jonny Bairstow, the wicket-keeper batter wasn’t at his best behind the wickets. It looks unlikely that Ben Foakes would replace Bairstow as the star batter can dismantle the opposition team with his wide range of shots.

The aggressive Brendon McCullum style of cricket, I don’t think will change – David Boon

David Boon was quite sure that England won’t change their approach in the 2nd Test and said that the brand of cricket which England side has applied is quite wonderful for cricket overall.

“If the ball does a bit, they might have to change their game plan just a little bit but I don’t think the aggressive part of it is going to leave. Back in my day, you would have probably batted for a little longer, especially maybe in the second innings, that let’s bat the side out of the game so that we can go harder with the ball,” said David Boon.
