McCullum believes England's Ashes performances validate 'Bazball' blueprint
England cricket coach Brendon McCullum believes his players’ performances in the Ashes further validate the “Bazball” blueprint that has delivered a year-long undefeated streak in test series under the New Zealander. The English came from 2-0 down in an unforgettable series to draw 2-2 thanks to a narrow victory in the fifth test at The Oval on Monday. Australia came into the Ashes as the newly crowned test world champions and therefore provided the toughest challenge in England’s era of “Bazball” under McCullum and captain Ben Stokes.
