Australia resist England's bowling and Bazball: Ashes 2023 review
Manage episode 373387661 series 2703051
We review the recently concluded five-Test series between England and Australia that ended 2-2 - with Australia retaining the Ashes. It was a series defined by England's 'Bazball' approach to batting - though that undersells how well Australia's batters resisted English bowling and how well Australia bowled in largely batting-friendly conditions.
Talking Points:
- A neutral view of the Ashes - and how it is hard to pick a team to support
- The limits of Bazball - and why England's recent success stems from their bowling depth
- Australia's bowlers adjusting to the flat pitches and England's risk-taking
- Why did England not want to prepare seamer-friendly pitches at home and capitalise on their big strength?
- Stokes v Starc on the final morning at Lord's
- The cult of Bazball - and how it fits in well with the English cricket establishment's exceptionalism
- Mark Wood's pace and Nathan Lyon's absence
- The effect of Bazball on England's bowling attack
- Stuart Broad's cinematic goodbye
- England's chances in the five-Test series in India next year
