Bazball has not only travelled, but transcended boundaries too

The Hindu  

Clive Lloyd changed Test cricket back in the 1970s with his decision to play four fast bowlers in the West Indies team. Few decisions, since Lloyd’s, have impacted Test cricket as the one that Rob Key took a couple of years ago as the managing director of England men’s cricket. Ben Stokes took over from Root and the all-rounder would form with McCullum one of cricket’s greatest captain-coach partnerships. Test cricket had never been played like that before, though there have been batters like Virender Sehwag and Adam Gilchrist who have displayed similar spirit and fearlessness, but that was more of an individual thing.
