Cricket icon Sir Garry Sobers has been left astonished but concerned by England’s latest Test reinvention.
The greatest all rounder the game has ever seen reckons fans will be delighted by the big-hitting, free-wheeling approach of Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes ’ team, but is worried the technical mastery of the game is being left behind.
Launching his foundation in London the 85-year-old Bajan admitted: “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing in the Tests, flashing bats and people trying to hit fours and sixes every ball. I’ve seen some astonishing things and I follow the game a lot, but I don't like what I see. I think that doesn't prove anything as far as I'm concerned.
