England will find it tough to beat India in the five-Test series in August-September since their "batting line-up is fragile", said former captain Michael Vaughan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ahead of the World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand, England had lost the two-Test series at home 1-0 to the Black Caps. Before that they had lost a four-match Test series to India 3-1 in the sub-continent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While there is hope that England would avenge the 3-1 loss to India in the upcoming series which begins on August 4, Vaughan said, "The batting line-up is fragile, it is as simple as that. (Jos) Buttler, (Ben) Stokes will come back in, (Chris) Woakes -- yes, they will improve the team but unless that batting line-up changes and can learn and understand how to get big scores against good bowlers, I can't see how they can compete."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"It's going to be tough to beat India on these shores, I can't see it unless they make one or two changes," Vaughan told Fox Cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Vaughan said beating Australia in Australia in the Ashes, which begins on December 8, will be tough as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Australia will get 450-500 [runs]," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The former skipper wants some harsh calls to be taken ahead of the two important series (against India and Australia).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I'd bring in Dawid Malan back in at No. 3. Apparently, he is not popular but you know what, who gives a hoot if he scores runs, that's what I like to see. He's got a bit of experience; he played well in Australia last time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I'd put him at No. 3, I'd put (Zak) Crawley in to open. I know that's a bit of fortune for Crawley because he hasn't got as many runs, but I think he can play. I'd leave (Rory) Burns, Crawley, Malan, Root, Stokes, Ollie Pope at six, Buttler at seven, Woakes at eight. Will that be a good enough eight to get big, big scores? I think it'd be a better chance than the seven I saw against New Zealand. They were very, very fragile," added Vaughan.
