The England Test Team has been in red-hot form in recent months. While they defeated New Zealand with ease, they also handed a loss to Team India in the one-off game at Edgbaston. The term “Bazball” has become a rage with fans appreciating the positive approach by Brendon McCullum and his boys. However, Steve Smith had a comment to make about it recently. Now, McCullum has reacted to it. In this article, we take a look as Brendon McCullum reacts to Steve Smith’s comment on Bazball.
Brendon McCullum speaks about “Bazball”
While speaking to Adam Gilchrist on SEN WA Breakfast, Brendon McCullum said, “No, I don’t have any idea what “Bazball” is.” He continued, saying ” I think the real key is not just the crash and burn if we look at the approach of how the guys have done it. That’s why I don’t really like that silly term that people are throwing out there.”
The England Test coach said that there is a thought behind the way the players construct their performances. He also noted that the players have absorbed the pressure really well in recent games.

A few days ago, Steve Smith said that he would be interested in the “Bazball” approach when the likes of Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins run into bowl.
Responding to this, he said, “I saw those (comments) flick up on one of the feeds somewhere. It’s quite right, it is going to be a big challenge when we take on Australia. It’s going to challenge our method and it’s going to challenge what we’re capable of achieving and that’s pretty exciting I reckon.” He further stated that it will be an exciting challenge for him and his team.
Australia and England will be involved in the Ashes next year. It will be interesting to see how the English Team would perform then.
