England’s head coach, Brendon McCullum, has defended his team’s ‘Bazball’ tactics following their narrow defeat against Australia in the opening Test of the Ashes series. Despite criticism from fans and the media, McCullum stated that he expected his team’s style of play to be admired and believed that it had left everyone entertained. While England lost to Australia in a thrilling match, McCullum felt that his side was a little unfortunate not to have come out on top in Birmingham. The second Test against Australia is set to start at Lord’s next Wednesday, and McCullum expects more of the same from both teams. Regarding England seamer Ollie Robinson’s behavior and foul-mouthed send-off of Australian opener Usman Khawaja in the first innings, McCullum believes that this type of behavior happens in all international cricket and that it didn’t cross the line. The Ashes series is expected to be a hotly contested one, and McCullum believes that emotions will run high throughout it.
