You might have thought Bazball would have been perfectly suited to a prime Kevin Pietersen, but the former England batsman has questioned the tactics of Ben Stokes at Edgbaston.
Stokes has undoubtedly been innovative and exciting during his stint in charge so far, but possibly pushed his team's new attacking approach too far on day one when he declared on 393 for 8. At the time, Joe Root was flowing on 118 not out, with Ollie Robinson also seemingly untroubled with England set to soar past 400.
Arguably, the call cost England dear. After a thrilling five days that ebbed and flowed, a stand of 55 from ninth wicket pair Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon settled matters in the final session, leaving fans and pundits pondering what might have been had the hosts had those extra runs to play with.
