From an English pov, it's hard to argue with the results. And it is great fun to watch, although I wouldn't be saying that if we were losing all the time playing this way. I just get a bit twitchy when the players allow themselves to get drawn into whether they're trying to change test cricket, which happened after Day 1 during the first test. The correct response should be that they're trying to change the way that England play test cricket, but they wouldn't presume to tell other sides how to play.

To quote Chopper Read, even Beethoven had his critics. We live in a perpetual world of either 'oh wow this is the greatest of all time' and 'oh this is the worst', quite often within short periods of time of each other on the same subject. Spose that gets reaction, sells papers etc.

No it’s just bad cricket (which is entirely distinct from ineffective cricket or unsuccessful cricket)

I also don't like Bazball , I can see the potential effect if every team starts playing like this , this is probably going to be used as justification to reduce Test Cricket to 4 days because of the higher scoring rates somewhere down the line . Becareful what you wish for ..
