Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan feels that England gave got a bleak chance of beating the current Australian team on the outset of England's loss to New Zealand. After losing the first match by a huge margin, England's bowlers had no answers to get rid of the Kiwi batsmen, who in return ensured that New Zealand got away with the draw and continued their unbeaten run at home. England's Test bowling line-up has not managed to find a star pacer after James Anderson's departure due to injury as other pacers including Jofra Archer, Chris Woakes and Stuart Broad have had inconsistent and wicketless spells. Michael Vaughan had earlier labelled India as the only team that could beat Australia at home in the present conditions, has now made a grim prediction for Joe Root and co.
