Brendon McCullum is already looking forward to the ‘ultimate challenge’ of the Ashes next summer to see whether ‘Bazball’ can stand up to the examination.
The Aussies have taken notice of England ’s progress under McCullum over in Sri Lanka where they are currently touring, with Steve Smith less convinced about the new style. Smith even declared ‘Bazball!!!’ as he tried to smash a ball while batting in the nets.
As a player McCullum only ever won one of the 16 Test matches he played against Australia, including his most aggressive performance when he scored the game’s fastest ever Test hundred. But he is now hoping to reverse that trend as a coach with a team who have bought totally into his attacking approach.
