Can we get back to how ****ing stupid BazBall is. This is such nonsense.

(Haven’t watched a ball tbh but the scorecard alone is just so silly and childish)

Jack Leach was bowled first ball trying to reverse sweep one of the leg spinners.
It's pretty glorious.

Correction. He was bowled first bazball.

Taking the thread title seriously for a moment, I don't like Bazball either, but we seem to be stuck with it for the next few years at least.
But did anyone else fit the title into the opening line of 'Dreadlock Holiday', or was that just me?

Whatever it takes!!!
There are gonna be days when they are gonna overcommit to their own hype of Bazball but you gotta take the good with the bad with this kind of approach. I definitely think once they were 6 down they should have batted with a bit more common sense and tried to eke out 350+ but they have won every test bar 1 with this approach, so who am I to question their methods?
*Different. This is different, TH.
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.
I mean, in times gone by against a spinner like Abrar, England might've been rooted to the crease and bowled out for 150. Who knows?
Having said that, it's fair to criticise the sort of low-percentage nonsense like Leach's dismissal. We've had to endure that sort of bollocks from Tim Southee for years, probably at Baz's insistence.

After copious amounts of Buffalo Trace bourbon, I can assuredly say bazball makes me want to tune into England Test match scores and scroll right down to the run rate first thing. Am I alone in this?

I think that one may be wasted on the young folks mate.

Doesn’t predate Dreadlock Holiday.
