Bazball cricket is a well-known sport worldwide. A word that describes the aggressive style of play the English cricket team has adopted and which has swept Test cricket by storm is one of HarperCollins’ top ten new words of 2023. Under Brendon McCullum’s tutelage, England has produced some amazing long-form cricket. Nevertheless, Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne was unimpressed as the word’s lexicon became the talk of the town.
Offering his opinion on the matter, Marnus Labuschagne stated that adding Bazball to the lexicon was a piece of crap. “Oh my god, that’s trash.” That is unknown to me.
In an interview with cricket.com.au, Marnus Labuschagne stated, “To be honest, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Australia is ready for a furious matchup with England.
Regarding Australia’s results in the ODI World Cup 2023, the Men in Yellow had a difficult start to the competition, losing their opening two matches against South Africa and India. But since then, under the leadership of Pat Cummins, the team has proven resilient, winning the competition’s final four games.
Australia has eight points from six games, good for fourth position in the standings right now. Given their current form, the team is eager to perform well in the upcoming games and advance to the tournament’s knockout stages.
The Australians’ next task is to play their bitter rivals England in the 36th World Cup 2023 match. On Saturday, November 4, both teams will be in the spotlight at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium.
In relation to England’s performance, the team has won just one of its six games in the competition, posting appalling results overall. With two points from six games, the reigning champions are in 10th place in the rankings. It will be intriguing to watch how the team lead by Jos Buttler performs as the match against Australia draws nearer.
