Vaughan says England star's place is under 'huge threat' after Australia defeat
- Michael Vaughan says Ollie Pope's position at number three is under a huge threat after England's Ashes defeat in Brisbane.
- Vaughan suggests Ben Stokes could move up to three or Jacob Bethell could be brought in for a century-less challenge.
- The analysis comes after Australia cruised to an eight-wicket win in Brisbane to go 2-0 up in the series.
- Vaughan praised Australia’s bowling and singled out Michael Neser for his maiden five-wicket haul.
- England's captain Joe Root remained resilient with a century in England's first innings, but the team still fell short.
- Vaughan argued that the English-style bowlers need to adapt to counter Australia’s batting lineup.
- England likely faces conversations about changes to the XI ahead of the Adelaide Test.
- Vaughan emphasized the need for a stronger mentality to prevent repeated bad sessions.
- The discussion arrived as England looked to respond after Australia’s 511 total and a key partnership in the second innings.
- The report links Vaughan’s remarks to broader calls for changes and a potential rethink of England’s pace attack.
