The Ashes: England’s ‘Bazball’ approach gets ultimate test against Australia

The Hindu  

English cricket’s “Bazball” revolution is about to get its ultimate test. It’s been exciting to watch, I’ve enjoyed watching the way they’ve played and the way they’ve turned things around in the last 12 months, but we’ll wait and see how it comes off against us.” Stokes, who has played a central part in some of the most memorable matches in England’s cricketing history, has insisted there will be no backward step from the English just because they are playing the best Test team in the world in the most storied Test series in cricket. Yes, we may lose a few talented players along the way, but the best way to keep Test cricket alive and at the pinnacle of the sport is to work harder to show players something that excites them and inspires them.” Starting Friday at Birmingham’s Edgbaston ground, which is known for its football-style atmosphere, the series will likely be much closer than the last when Australia — as host — demolished England 4-0 in 2021-22. AUSTRALIA Meanwhile, Australia’s bowling resources could hardly be stronger, with Scott Boland — a revelation since his Test debut in the last Ashes series — adding to a stock of fast bowlers containing captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood. Australia gives as good as it gets with Queensland police reacting to England’s disastrous start of 11-3 in the first Test of the last Ashes series by “launching an investigation into a group impersonating a Test batting order at the Gabba.” That match was Cummins’ first Test as Australia captain.
