Trescothick says England don't need to take big risks in pursuit of win over India
ENGLAND are “not stupid enough” to chase victory at all costs on the final day of the Edgbaston Test, with assistant coach Marcus Trescothick hinting they would welcome a rare draw against India.
In three years since Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum took over as captain and coach, England have become the masters of all-or-nothing cricket and turned the draw into an endangered species.
There has been just one in 37 games since the advent of 'Bazball' - a rain-shortened Ashes clash in Manchester - with Stokes going on the record on numerous occasions with his disdain for stalemates.
It would be fantastical for England to harbour realistic ideas of turning their overnight score of 72 for three into a winning score of 608 on Sunday - not mention a world record by the small matter of 190 runs.
