“You Will Falter”: Ravichandran Ashwin Gives Honest Verdict On ‘Bazball’ | Cricket News

[ad_1] England have been trying to adapt a style of fast-paced batting called ‘Bazball' for quite some time. The style, which is named after their head coach Brendon McCullum, has seen batsmen scoring runs at extremely quick speeds in Test matches and it has resulted in some brilliant wins against Pakistan and New Zealand. However, India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin did not sound quite convinced with the aggressive style of batting and said that it will surely falter in certain kind of conditions.“We now have a concept called Bazball. England is playing high-paced Test match cricket. They want to play a certain style of cricket. But in certain types of wicket, when you try and attack every ball, you will falter. There are both advantages and disadvantages to this approach,” Ashwin said.“S...

"With the skipper in charge, I am not sure what is possible for this side because he is a guy who writes his own scripts and achieves some pretty special things.

“There’s Maverick In It And Genius In A Lot Of It”: McCullum On Stokes After England Sweep Over Pakistan | Cricket News

[ad_1] England's head coach Brendon McCullum finds it "scary" to think about how good a captain Ben Stokes can become after the team's 3-0 whitewash of Pakistan in the Test series.

"Ben has had a transformative influence in the year gone by and his work on and off the field is fantastic," McCullum told Sky Sports."There's maverick in it and genius in a lot of it," he added."He's just got an insatiable appetite to keep moving the game forward, which is super-impressive.
