Bazball really is a mixed bag though can’t call it a big success this series as it drew. Too many good positions thrown away from it.
The one question you have to ask is, would we have created those good positions under the previous methods? We probably should have lost in 2019, we probably should have won in 2023. We're undoubtedly a better team now than then.Bazball really is a mixed bag though can’t call it a big success this series as it drew. Too many good positions thrown away from it.
It can't really be any worse than previous efforts. At some point, it's going to come off (particularly if there's a flat pitch or two) and India will be wondering how to stop it.It will be interesting to see how this plays out in India.
Yeah I think we safely say that you're going to be getting a full set of Ahemedebad 2021, not Ahmedebad 2023.The one question you have to ask is, would we have created those good positions under the previous methods?

Still can't win in England though....Bazball only works against weak teams it won't work in India or Australia.
Australia beat Bazball before lyon got injured.
Australia beat Bazball overall 3-2...
England never ending luck at home covering up how bad Bazball is. Australia 11-3 in last WTC cycle last playing normal cricket.
Australia style of cricket is the best.
Even South africa can beat England
The rank turners give England a chance too (as Australia showed). If there's a ball with your name on it sooner or later, may as well try and smash a few whilst you can.Yeah I think we safely say that you're going to be getting a full set of Ahemedebad 2021, not Ahmedebad 2023.
There's been a lot of blow in idiots come through here for this series.......congrats, amongst some very stiff competition you've managed to stand out as the biggest idiot of them all.Bazball only works against weak teams it won't work in India or Australia.

I never said South Africa beat England last time they played. only South Africa can beat England meaning in the future.The 'even South Africa can beat England', randomly thrown in at the end when the idea floated to the top of his head, not bothering to consider whether or not they did or at any point think to look up what might've happened
Truly brainful posting
Where did you get the 3-2 from? The series was 2-2 with the drawn game poised heavily in England's favour before the rain.Bazball only works against weak teams it won't work in India or Australia.

Australia won tests 1-2 plus moral victory of the 5th test thanks to unfair ball change and rain.Where did you get the 3-2 from? The series was 2-2 with the drawn game poised heavily in England's favour before the rain.
Bazball is a media concocted term for the more positive approach that England have adopted. Calling it "bad" is ridiculous - but no more than can be expected from Andy19.
Australia's 11-3 form in the last WTC is a credit to the players. Style doesn't come into it.
tbf as was pointed out a huge part of that was lower order coming to the party when the top didn't - cf say the johnson ashes where the english top order wasn't actually dreadful per se even in the face of really generational bowling, but australia just kept getting bailed out by haddin et al to an extent england weren't by their non top order.Yeah I expected it to be very boom or bust but it’s been unexpectedly consistent. Their lowest score this summer was around 230 I think?
Not on hard seamy roads.I’m interested to see how other countries try to lift its most effective elements. I suspect that actively trying to punish bowlers for being predictable will change the game. Everyone should play Boland the way they did from now on, and that might extend to similar bowlers. Be as unorthodox as you need to to get them off their spot.
Even Indian fans don't go hysterical with home draws like that (not had any in a long time), you must keep your expectations higher.Won’t work against Bumrah and India - demolished
Won’t work in Pakistan - whitewashed
Won’t work against Pat Cummins - hiding at first change
Next up, won’t work in India. Cheers
I doubt anyone will get a chance to play Boland at Test level again.Not on hard seamy roads.
