ECB, Wasim Jaffer: Former Indian opener and cricket expert Wasim Jaffer has ridiculed the England team after the crushing defeat against South Africa in the Lord’s Test. Wasim Jaffer has fiercely trolled the English team for ‘Bazball’.

In the first Test against South Africa, England lost by an innings and 12 runs. With this win, the visiting team took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
After England’s crushing defeat, Wasim Jaffer tweeted “Bazball has done amazing in 4th innings”, SA: There will be no 4th innings.

England successfully chased down 250-plus runs against New Zealand for three consecutive times, while registering a 378-run victory in the fourth innings of the Edgbaston Test against India.
McCullum is called the father of BazBall ideology:-
McCullum is called the father of BazBall ideology. McCallum’s nickname is Baz and the BazBall ideology was used on this nickname. McCullum believes that there was a need to change the way Test cricket was played.
He used the strategy of creating pressure by batting aggressively against a strong opposition team during his career and it also paid off. Now England is also playing on BazBall strategy.
