Ashes 2023: Kevin Pietersen slam Ben Stokes' declaration decision on Day 1, Husain supports it.
Kevin Pietersen has no words to explain the declaration on Day 1 as he thinks the tracks will give more advantage to the batters at day two and gradually benefit more and more as the game progresses. He expressed that he didn't not understand why Ben stokes declared the innings as they can easily bat more and score 50 to 60 runs more.
On the other hand Nasir Hussain wanted to see this type of cricket from team England and Ben Stokes as he is playing this format in this style for last couple of series. He was not surprised and wanted to see attacking cricket against Australia.
The main aim for team England was to score around 400 and attack Australia by its bowling line up. Now after Day 2 Australia has scored 311 for 5 trailing by 82 runs. Australia has fought back well with the help of amazing Usman Khawaja ton.

Khawaja was bowled on a no ball and now playing well on 126 not out with Alex Carey on 52 runs on the other end.
Morning session was dominated by England but Aussies came back well and now in a strong position. Which justifies KP statement during the post day analysis on day 1.
What do you guys think the declaration of England was a good move or a bold one with bad consequences.?
