Sam Billings has hit back at South Africa captain Dean Elgar after he claimed England's new 'Bazball' style of play "can go south very quickly".
Speaking before a warm-up match against the England Lions, Elgar told the Observer : "I've got absolutely no interest in the style that they've played. I think it can go one of two ways for them and it can go south very quickly. [Talking about it] is a waste of energy. Their own coach doesn't even like the slogan they've come up with. I'd like to see them do it against our seamers."
However, South Africa were beaten by an innings and 56 runs by the Lions, who racked up 672 at a run rate of 5.74, with Harry Brook and Ben Duckett both scoring hundreds.
