The way that England plays in Test matches, which is referred to as “Bazball,” has swept the globe. England has been playing aggressive cricket in the longest version of the game since Test head coach Brendon McCullum introduced it, and it has really benefited the Ben Stokes-led team. Australian players do hold a different view, despite the fact that the globe is starting to take a liking to the style of play. Superstar Australian spinner Nathan Lyon was asked about Bazball and he spoke up, saying he was glad that he was up 2-0 against Bazball and that Bazball should be included in the dictionary.
“Well, I’m pleased with my 2-0 record versus Bazball. If you ask me, it’s all a bunch of sh*t. It’s a cricket brand that the English want to continue playing; it’s now in the vocabulary, which is pretty amazing,” Nathan Lyon stated during an appearance on the Australian television program The Front Bar.
“A style of Test cricket in which the batting side attempts to gain the initiative by playing in a highly aggressive manner” is what is defined as “Bazball” by the Collins Dictionary.
