Former England captain Michael Vaughan said that Australian batters could use some competition to be aware that their spot in the playing XI is not fixed. Australia were skittled out for a paltry 104 in the first innings of the first Border-Gavaskar series Test against India as well.

“If I was an Australian fan, I’d be concerned that there’s just not the level of quality waiting to get into this team. Maybe some in the team are just a little bit too comfortable because they feel that they’re not getting pushed from those outside of it,” Vaughan said on Fox Sports’ coverage (via ABC News).

The former England captain also focused on Australia’s bench when it comes to batting which is arguably not a stacked unit as well.

“I just wonder what’s underneath this batting line-up really pushing the standards in the first team. The standards generally get driven in a team because you’ve got many players pushing for places in it, and I just don’t see too many doing that,” Vaughan added. “I just look back to Australian cricket when Australia had a batting line-up that had many world-class players in it, I reckon you had seven or eight world-class players not in it. And that’s just in the batting department,” Vaughan concluded.
