‘A Star Is Born’: Vaughan Lauds Bethell’s Fighting Hundred At SCG
Sydney Cricket Ground: Former England captain Michael Vaughan has hailed Jacob Bethell’s gritty century in the final Test of the ongoing Ashes series at the Sydney Cricket Ground, calling the 22-year-old a new star of English cricket.
Bethell scored his maiden Test century off 162 balls. At 22 years and 78 days of age, he became the second youngest batter to score an Ashes hundred in the 21st century, behind only former England captain Alastair Cook, who achieved the feat in 2006 at the age of 21.
The former skipper Vaighan shared a post on X, praising Bethell’s technique and class while lauding the youngster’s temperament under pressure.
