NO REVERSE SWING

McCullum won't take backward step over Bazbal

- DAVID CHARLESWORTH

BRENDON MCCULLUM insists England's best chance of turning the tide in India is to keep trusting in their methods.

The England coach will resist calls to adapt despite a humbling defeat in Rajkot.

Michael Vaughan described a 434-run loss in the third Test their heaviest since 1934 as a "wake-up call", while Nasser Hussain indicated that "tweaks" to the Bazball approach are needed.

The suggestions of two former England captains are likely to fall on deaf ears as McCullum sticks to his guns despite going 2-1 down in a five-match series which resumes in Ranchi on Friday.
