Baz cricket in test matches

Would it work abroad in test matches?
Would definitely work in NZ - pitches get better to bat on by the 4th innings (also fastest ever 100 McCullum in NZ, fastest 200 Astle in NZ). England hasn't won a test here since 2008 (Southee's test debut), so the 2-match series next year will be interesting especially with the Baz factor.

It's going to be a problem because McCullum will betray his country and finally tell the English how to use a kookaburra in NZ - pitch it up cowards.

Is McCullum's 300 the fastest 300

Obviously it works, but honestly it's a bit infuriating to hear English fans / talking heads hype this as if positive, attacking Test cricket were some sort of newly minted invention cooked up by Brendan McCullum within the last few months specifically to coach the England team.

Rubbish from that lot grinds my gears itbt.

What is Baz cricket?

England still have the same problem they have for years. A one note bowling attack which relies on seam and swing, take that away they will fail away as they have for so many years.

The batting isn't any better and still relies on Root and one other guy to be in form, in this case Jonny. Watch him fail soon! The openers are still useless and there is no settled middle order.

Bazball about to become loserball soon enough.

It was a back against the wall knock I think
Yeah it was. We got rolled on a green top by Ishant, India got a decent score as it flattened out, then we made a terrible start in the 2nd innings (94/5). Also Taylor was injured so Tom Latham debuted at no4. BMac batted for ages with Watling and later Neesham on debut.
