England's Test team have enjoyed a remarkable turnaround under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, with their new 'Bazball' approach earning them nine wins in ten over New Zealand, India, South Africa and Pakistan.
Stokes and McCullum took charge last summer after England were thrashed 4-0 in the Ashes and then beaten 1-0 by the West Indies. The pair immediately got England playing a much more positive and aggressive brand of cricket, which has been dubbed 'Bazball' after McCullum's nickname.
Despite their success, Australia have not been impressed by 'Bazball', with Steve Smith saying it was "good fun to joke about" and David Warner highlighting England's sole loss to South Africa. "Bazball didn't work that Test," he said, before claiming Australia were looking to play 'Ronball' under their coach Andrew 'Ronnie' McDonald.
