вторник, июня 27, 2023

It is one of the leading biannual international Test cricket series in the world.

Key Points: 
  • It is one of the leading biannual international Test cricket series in the world.
  • This year’s series has added intrigue, as England head coach Brendon McCullum’s “Bazball” style of play pits itself against the old foe for the first time.
  • England were humiliatingly outplayed when losing the most recent series 4-0 in 2021-22, capitulating with Australia retaining the Ashes in just 12 days of cricket.

The emergence of ‘Bazball’

    • His approach was influenced by members of the great Australian team of the 1990s and early 2000s, who were relentlessly positive.
    • He also drew inspiration from the success of the Michael Vaughan-led England side, which regained the Ashes in 2005 by aggressively taking on the opposition.
    • What ensued was the highest batting total ever achieved by a New Zealand team, at an astounding run rate.
    • They hit a world record number of sixes in a Test innings, to square the series.

The psychology underpinning Bazball

    • Bazball is a term used to describe the revitalised playing style of the England Test team under McCullum.
    • McCullum feels the term downplays the amount of thought that goes into the Bazball approach to play.
    • It develops confidence to allow freedom of expression which is so fundamental in Bazball, guides attention and concentration and facilitates motivation.
    • Bazball offers group members psychological safety.
    • And, as we have seen with Bazball so far, exciting, high-level performances.
