South Africa have become the first team to openly admit they will be taking their cues from England's 'Bazballers' and putting it into their own cricket performances of the future.
Imitation is surely the sincerest form of flattery when it comes to sporting excellence with competition for honours so fierce, so it stands to reason that England's double World Cup winners across 50 over and T20 cricket are the gold standard for others to follow.
South Africa once again flattered to deceive at the recent T20 World Cup in Australia that England won with the Netherlands dumping them out of the tournament in a Dutch derby.
