<p>Travis Head's unbeaten 154 took Australia to an easy win over hosts England in the five-match ODI series opener, at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, on Thursday (Sep 19). Chasing 316, Australia lost&nbsp;captain Mitchell Marsh early but were never behind in the run-chase courtesy of Head and his crucial partnerships with Steve Smith, Cameron Green and Marnus Labuschagne (77 not out). Notably, this win became Australia's 13th&nbsp;in a row in ODIs.</p>

<p>Early in the contest, Harry Brook-led England opted to bat first. Phil Salt departed early but Ben Duckett and Will Jacks (62) steadied the ship with a 120-run stand. While Adam Zampa removed Jacks, Duckett fell five short of a ton with Labuschagne chipping in with a vital scalp. The latter ended with 3 for 39 and Zampa returned with 3 for 49 whereas&nbsp;Head chipped in&nbsp;with 2 for 34.</p>

<p>Eventually,&nbsp;England posted 315 for 6 with vital contributions also&nbsp;from Brook (39), keeper-batter Jamie Smith (23) and&nbsp;Jacob Bethell (35).</p>

<p>In reply, Australia lost Marsh soon (10), with Matthew Potts giving England an early breakthrough. However, Head's free-flowing approach kept Australia in the hunt with the visitors being 69/1 after 10 overs. He formed a 76-run second-wicket stand with Smith&nbsp;and stitched another 73&nbsp;with No. 4 batter Green, with boundaries coming at regular intervals. Both Smith and Green departed for 32 apiece.</p>

<p>Head then forged an unbeaten 148-run fourth-wicket stand with Labuschagne as Australia closed the run-chase in 44 overs. Labuschagne struck at 126.23, scoring a 61-ball 77*. On the other hand, the swashbuckling opener's inning was laced with 20 fours and 5 sixes, at a strike rate of 119.38. This was Head's sixth ODI ton.</p>

<p>At the post-match presentation, Player-of-the-Match Head said, "(Is batting too easy for him?) It's never the case, got a bit lucky at the start. Jofra (Archer) bowled a hell of a spell but when you can get through it, there are runs on offer, especially on this outfield and pitch. We did well to keep it at 315, used different people. Then to survive the early spell from Jofra and build some partnerships was great."</p>

<p>With the win, the visitors have taken a 1-0 lead in the five ODIs, with the second game on Saturday (Sep 21) at Headingley, Leeds.</p>

<p>On Wednesday (Sep 11), Australia beat England by 28 runs in the three-match T20I series opener at The Rose Bowl, Southampton. Riding on Travis Head's quickfire&nbsp;23-ball 59, Sean Abbott's 3 for 28 and two wickets each for Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa, the Aussies defeated the Jos Buttler-less England&nbsp;by 28 runs after posting 179&nbsp;and dismissing the hosts for 151, with four balls to spare.</p>

<p>During the clash, Australia openers Head and Matthew Short (26-ball 41) started off confidently, with the former going berserk from the word go. While he fell inside the powerplay, on the last ball of the sixth over, Head made the scoreboard moving at a rapid pace with his inning laced with&nbsp;8 fours and 4 sixes, (striking at a whopping 256.62).</p>

<p>In the fifth over, stand-in captain Phil Salt introduced Sam Curran into the attack but the move fell flat as Head smashed him for 30 runs, including three 4s and equal number of 6s.&nbsp;</p>

4, 4, 6, 6, 6, 4! Travis Head smashes Sam Curran for 30 runs in an over during Eng vs Aus 1st T20I - Watch

<p>On&nbsp;Wednesday (Sep 11), Australia beat England by 28 runs in the three-match T20I series opener at&nbsp;The Rose Bowl, Southampton to take a 1-0 lead. Riding on Travis Head's quickfire 23-ball 59, the Aussies posted 179&nbsp;and&nbsp;dismissed the Jos Buttler-less England side for 151&nbsp;courtesy of&nbsp;Sean Abbott's 3 for 28 and two wickets apiece for Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa.</p>

<p>Talking about the contest, Phil Salt-led hosts opted to bowl first after winning the toss. Head's onslaught kept the English bowlers on their toes as Australia started off strongly. Matthew Short, Head's opening partner, gave good company&nbsp;before the latter fell on the last ball of the powerplay. His inning was laced with 8 fours and 4 sixes, striking at a whopping 256.52.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At 86-1 in six overs, Australia looked set for a solid total but their innings slowed down a bit after Head's dismissal. Amid the regular fall of wickets,&nbsp;Short fell for a 26-ball 41 but keeper-batter Josh Inglis' 37 (27) and double-digit scores from Marcus Stoinis and Tim David took the visitors to&nbsp;179 all-out in 19.3 overs. From England, Jofra Archer and Saqib Mahmood took two-fers each, while Liam Livingstone returned with 3 for 22&nbsp;rocking Australia's lower-middle order.</p>

<p>England’s new full-time head coach Brendon McCullum has hailed Jos Buttler as the greatest white-ball player in English cricket while speaking on Tuesday (Sep 10). England who are set to face Australia in the ODI and T20I series will be without Buttler as he recovers from right calf injury. The batter has enjoyed a stellar career in white-ball cricket for England, having won the ODI World Cup in 2019 and the T20 World Cup in 2022, with the latter win coming as the skipper of the side.</p>

<h2><strong>McCullum hails Buttler as the greatest</strong></h2>

<p>"I think Jos has had an unbelievable career. If he were to retire tomorrow, he goes down as arguably the greatest white-ball player England has ever had. He has nothing left to prove," McCullum told Sky Sports.</p>

<p>McCullum also spoke on the need to groom the next generation as players need to be ready for future tournaments. The new white-ball coach also reckons England have been successful in the ODI and T20I format.</p>

England on the other hand will look to build on their summer success having already beaten the West Indies and Sri Lanka on home turf in the red-ball format.

ENG vs AUS: Brendon McCullum reckons Jos Buttler is the 'greatest white-ball' English player

<p>England are set to host Australia in three T20Is and five ODIs before the end of the 2024 English summer. Ahead of the white-ball series versus arch-rivals Australia, England skipper Jos Buttler remains a doubtful starter with a calf injury. Buttler suffered the injury while preparing for The Hundred, which ended&nbsp;in the United Kingdom last month. The white-ball captain, thus, got ruled out of the entire tournament -- where he was set to represent the Manchester Originals -- and is still in the recovery process.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Lancashire Lightning coach Dale Benkenstein informed, while talking to the BBC, that Buttler reaggravated his calf injury during rehabilitation, ruling him out of the side's upcoming T20 Blast quarterfinal clash versus Sussex Sharks, on Sep&nbsp;4. The latest setback has dented the wicketkeeper-batter's recovery ahead of the Australia series.</p>

<p>Benkenstein said, "We've had some bad news on his recovery...He had an injury he was recovering from, and he's sort of tweaked it again. He's not only just out of our T20s, but I think he's even struggling to make the international ones. He was very keen to play for us."</p>

<p>There is still time for the Australia home series. Hence, England team management is not fretting over Buttler's return but would hope for him to regain full fitness sooner rather than later, with the 2025 Champions Trophy in mind. The Australia series commences with the three T20Is, with the series opener on Sep 12. In case Buttler remains out of the series, Phil Salt and Sam Curran are reportedly the main contenders to lead England.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Buttler was last seen in action at the highest level during the 2024 T20 World Cup, held in the West Indies and the USA. Buttler-led England reached the semifinals, where they were thrashed by eventual winners India.&nbsp;</p>

Aus tour of Eng: Big blow to England! Skipper Jos Buttler doubtful for Australia T20Is with calf injury

<p>England Test captain and star all-rounder Ben Stokes reacted to Fox Cricket’s social media post, poking Stokes for his remarks he made during one of the episodes of a new three-part documentary series 'Ashes 2023 | Our Take' produced by England and Wales Cricket Board. His comments came after the fourth Test at Old Trafford (during last year’s home Ashes) ended in a draw due to rain interruption, with Stokes saying he said those words to inject confidence in the team.</p>

<h2><strong>So what did Stokes say?</strong></h2>

<p>With two days of rain spoiling England’s chances of winning the fourth Test and levelling the five-match series, which they eventually did after winning the fifth Test, Stokes revealed he said those words to cheer up the disappointment in the dressing room, bashing reports of him talking highly of ‘Bazball’ approach that made headlines since him becoming the Test captain.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In his rallying speech to his teammates, Stokes said, "Everything we've done up until now isn't going to stop because we haven't managed to win the urn back," said Stokes who, with men's team coach Brendon McCullum, has pioneered the 'Bazball' philosophy of always playing to win.</p>

<p>"And what we have managed to do is we've managed to become a sports team that will live forever in the memory of people who were lucky enough to witness us play cricket,” he continued.</p>

<h3>England’s rise to the top and big failure</h3>

<p>With Test coach Brendon McCullum and Captain Ben Stokes coming together, England deployed an ultra-attacking approach, which the media calls Bazball. Although it did wonders for England in the first year, with fans worldwide talking highly of it, Bazball fell flat against the mighty Aussies last year, with England, despite all the resources, failing to win the urn.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Even against India on the away tour earlier this year, England lost four Tests after winning the first one in Hyderabad.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With them suffering heavy losses since the past year, Stokes and McCullum will aim to put England back on track, starting with the home summer (three Tests against West Indies beginning July 10).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, England will travel Down Under later next year for the away Ashes, something they haven’t won since 2011.</p>

England’s Ben Stokes reacts to ‘lucky enough to witness us play cricket’ remarks

<p>England men's cricket team head coach, Matthew Mott, is hoping that Josh Hazlewood was joking when he made the statement about Australia manipulating an early exit for the defending champions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>England's destiny in the ongoing T20 world Cup does not lie in their own hands. After a washout in the opening match, England were soundly defeated by Australia, leaving them at the mercy of other results.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I think I know Josh pretty well and I know his integrity. He has got a very good sense of humour and I am hoping it was very much tongue-in-cheek,"&nbsp;Mott said.</p>

<p>"I actually don't think it is ever going to play out. Having grown up in Australia, and the will to win every game, I am sure they will come to the fore. I am very much hoping it was an offhand remark by a really good bloke who is having fun," he&nbsp;added.&nbsp;</p>

T20 World Cup: 'I am hoping...': England coach Matthew Mott on Australia deliberately playing slow

<p>Defending champions England are on the brink of a catastrophic exit from the ongoing T20 World Cup as they sit third in the Group B standings with only two matches remaining. Jos Buttler’s side, who are one of the favourites to win the T20 World Cup, could face elimination if they fail to win their remaining matches. But what are the scenarios that could see them reach the Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup?</p>

<h2><strong>England on the brink</strong></h2>

<p>Currently, the English side has one point from two matches after their defeat to Australia and points were shared with Scotland due to a washout. Buttler and Co can reach a maximum of five points in Group B while both Scotland (maximum seven) and Australia (maximum eight) sit in pole position.</p>

<p>For England to qualify, they should win both matches while Australia should lose both their remaining matches, or Scotland should lose their remaining match with them taking a hit on the net run rate (NRR).</p>

<p>The best possible scenario for England to qualify for the Super 8 will be – Australia beat Scotland by a big margin which results in them taking a hit on their NRR. This, coupled with England winning by a big margin against Oman and Namibia, will see Buttler and Co in the next round.</p>

<h2><strong>How could England get knocked out in the group stage?</strong></h2>

<p>In case Australia beat Namibia on Tuesday (June 11), then the Aussies will qualify for the Super 8 and could play a weakened side against Scotland in their final group match.</p>

<p>A defeat for Australia against Scotland will see the latter reach the next stage at England’s expense. In this scenario, Australia will end with six points while Scotland will finish top with seven points, meaning even if England win their remaining matches, they will face elimination.</p>

<p>Also if Australia win against Namibia and one of England’s matches against Oman or Namibia gets washed out due to rain, then Buttler and Co will have to pack their bags early as they won’t be able to finish in the top two.</p>

T20 World Cup 2024: Australia continue flawless run with comfortable win over England in Barbados

<p>Australia's veteran spinner Nathan Lyon has praised England's spin trio of Tom Hartley, Shoaib Bashir and Rehan Ahmed for their performance on the recently-concluded Test tour of India. England although lost the five-match series 1-4, the spinners did manage to take wickets despite their inexperience. Hartley, in fact, was the second-highest wicket-taker in the series with 22 scalps in five matches and behind only India spinner Ravi Ashwin's 26 wickets.</p>

<p>Talking about which English spinner stood out for him, Lyon said: "All three of them to be honest with you," while speaking on the Willow Talk podcast.</p>

<p>"And I'm not just saying that to be kind. They had a pretty hard introduction into Test cricket. That's one hell of a way to start your Test career, come over and bowl to Rohit [Sharma] and [Shubman] Gill and everyone else," he added.</p>

<p>Lyon also thinks that off-spinner Bashir, who took 17 wickets in three games, could be a threat in Australia as well.</p>

<p>"Bashir looked like he had something special as well. I like that he went over the back of it [the ball], so he could be a threat down here for sure," said Lyon about the lanky English spinner.</p>

<p>Apart from Hartley and Bashir, Rehan also chipped in with 11 wickets in three Tests on the tour. Lyon, meanwhile, is heading to English country Lancashire and is excited to play with Hartley.</p>

<p>"I'm looking forward to getting over to Lancashire and meeting Tom [Hartley] and bowling with him and just having discussions about left-arm [orthodox], right-arm offies is a pretty similar craft. It's going to be interesting to see the mindset, his reflections. I'm looking forward to hopefully playing a bit with him over there as well which will be good," said the Aussie spinner.</p>

I like that he went over the back of it [the ball], so he could be a threat down here for sure," said Lyon about the lanky English spinner. Apart from Hartley and Bashir, Rehan also chipped in with 11 wickets in three Tests on the tour. Lyon, meanwhile, is heading to English country Lancashire and is excited to play with Hartley. "I'm looking forward to getting over to Lancashire and meeting Tom [Hartley] and bowling with him and just having discussions about left-arm [orthodox], right-arm offies is a pretty similar craft. It's going to be interesting to see the mindset, his reflections. I'm looking forward to hopefully playing a bit with him over there as well which will be good," said the Aussie spinner. England will tour Australia for the Ashes in the 2025-26 season and will be looking to win their first series Down Under since the 2010-11 series.

Nathan Lyon says England spinner Shoaib Bashir 'could be a threat' in Australia

<p>England batter Ben Stokes scored 64 in the ODI World Cup 2023 match against Australia on November 4 but it wasn't enough as defending champions lost the game by 33 runs. Stokes also hit three sixes in his innings and one of them broke a chair as well. Stokes' innings came at a time when England were looking good to win but crumbled after his wicket.</p>

<p>As for the six, it came off Travis Head's ball in the 32nd over when Stokes deposited a short ball over deep midwicket area. The ball hit a chair and made a hole into it before bouncing ahead. Have a look at the video here:</p>

<p>The action returns to the iconic Narendra Modi Cricket stadium in Ahmedabad in World Cup 2023. Two rivals and&nbsp;former winners – England and Australia- will face off on the Super Saturday in match 36 of this competition. While the defending champions have nothing but pride to play for, Australia will back itself to beat the Poms and march towards sealing the semis spot. Here is the match preview and result prediction of the England vs Australia World Cup 2023 match.</p>

<h2>Can England spoil Australia’s party?</h2>

<p>With England down and out from the semis race, a campaign even Ben Stokes called ‘crap’ during the pre-match presser, a win over Australia would come as a silver lining for them. An unlikely victory in Ahmedabad will not only help them climb the points table but will further hamper Australia’s chances of finishing in the top four.</p>

World Cup 2023, England vs Australia – Match preview and result prediction

<p>Australia opener David Warner says 'it'd be nice to pile on England's misery' as the two sides prepare to face off each other in ODI World Cup 2023 on November 4. Defending champions England are having a horror show at the quadrennial event, losing five out of their six games and virtually out of the top four race.</p>

<p>Australia, on the other hand, have bounced back nicely with four wins on the trot after losing their first two games. Speaking to reporters in Ahmedabad ahead of the clash of arch-rivals, Warner said: "It’d be nice to pile on England’s misery. But they’re the teams that are the most dangerous when there’s nothing to lose," as quoted by cricket.com.au.</p>

<p>The opener, however, agreed that England are a dangerous side with quality players and can't be taken lightly despite their current situation.</p>

<p>“They’ve got some very, very (high) quality players and we have to respect it. They bat to 11 and their bowling unit is very good,” added the left-hand batter.</p>

<p>“Everyone keeps writing me off,” said Warner. “I’m doing as well as I can, I’m just trying to go out there and start as well as I can up front in the first 10 (overs). If I get in, I try and make the most of it."</p>

<p>The batter also acknowledged his opening partners, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh's performance in putting back the pressure on the opposition.</p>

<p>“It’s also awesome to have Heady and Mitch there as well because it allows that pressure to keep being put back onto the opposition,” said the Aussie veteran.</p>

<p>With four wins in six games, Australia currently are well-poised to make it to the last four along with other favourites - India, South Africa and New Zealand.</p>

ODI World Cup 2023: 'It'd be nice to pile on their misery,' says RUTHELSS David Warner ahead of AUS vs ENG

<p>Australia have been handed a blow ahead of their ODI World Cup clash against England in Ahmedabad on Saturday (Nov 4). Star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell will not play in the match having suffered a concussion on Monday. The concussion reportedly has taken its toll on the player who will now serve a timeout for the key clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Australia have so far won four consecutive matches at the ODI World Cup and are in search of the fifth win.</p>

<p>Maxwell has been in immaculate form in the ODI World Cup having scored 196 runs in six matches. He also has bagged four wickets in the tournament with a batting average of 39.2.

ODI World Cup 2023: Glenn Maxwell to miss England showdown in Ahmedabad for THIS reason

<p>Retired England Test veteran Stuart Broad recalled an incident from the second Ashes Test in Lord’s this summer, wherein he got involved in an ‘ugly verbal spat’ with Australia captain Pat Cummins over the controversial Jonny Bairstow run out on day five. Detailing everyone on how he reacted to Australia’s tactics of getting rid of well-settled Bairstow, Broad admitted saying to Cummins on his face, ‘You’re an absolute disgrace, which he later regretted.</p>

<p>As both teams were approaching the end of the first session on day five, Aussie keeper Alex Carey affected a run out from behind the stumps after Bairstow ducked a bouncer and left his crease to join his partner in the middle as it was the last ball of the over. Carey, cheekily, threw the ball towards the stumps, catching Bairstow out of his crease and was declared run out after multiple replays.</p>

<p>Speaking about the instance on the Up Front podcast lately, Broad revealed the whole scenario and what words were exchanged.</p>

Ashes: Stuart Broad recalls ‘ugly spat’ with Pat Cummins following controversial Bairstow run out, regrets

<p>England player Jonny Bairstow has opened up for the first time about the controversial stumping by Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey during the second Ashes Test earlier this year. In extracts from&nbsp;Lawrence Booth and Nick Hoult’s soon-to-be-published book<em> 'Bazball: The Inside Story of a Test Cricket Revolution’</em>, Bairstow said Australia claimed illegal catches during the series.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The English wicketkeeper-batter had strayed from his crease following the last ball of an over on the final day's play at Lord's when Carey lobbed the ball underarm at the stumps.</p>

<p>“The decision was that I was out, and I moved on,” Bairstow said. “I’ve not brought it up since. I’ve kept quiet. It’s on them. If that’s how they want to go about it and win a cricket game or what have you, then so be it.”</p>

<p>Bairstow said he wasn't attempting to gain an advantage when he ventured out of the crease and that he wouldn't want such a dismissal to reach the grassroots levels of cricket.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“If you try to gain an advantage, then it’s fair game. But if you’re starting in your crease, you’ve ducked, tap, tap, scratched. I’ve even dragged my bat, looked up, and then gone.</p>

<p>"I've never seen it happen from someone starting in their crease. I don't think you want that filtering down into kids' cricket."</p>

England player Jonny Bairstow has opened up for the first time about the controversial stumping by Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey during the second Ashes Test earlier this year.

England player Jonny Bairstow has opened up for the first time about the controversial stumping by Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey during the second Ashes Test earlier this year. In extracts from Lawrence Booth and Nick Hoult’s soon-to-be-published book 'Bazball: The Inside Story of a Test Cricket Revolution’, Bairstow said Australia claimed illegal catches during the series. The English wicketkeeper-batter had strayed from his crease following the last ball of an over on the final day's play at Lord's when Carey lobbed the ball underarm at the stumps. “The decision was that I was out, and I moved on,” Bairstow said. “I’ve not brought it up since. I’ve kept quiet. It’s on them. If that’s how they want to go about it and win a cricket game or what have you, then so be it.” Bairstow said he wasn't attempting to gain an advantage when he ventured out of the crease and that he wouldn't want such a dismissal to reach the grassroots levels of cricket. “If you try to gain an advantage, then it’s fair game. But if you’re starting in your crease, you’ve ducked, tap, tap, scratched. I’ve even dragged my bat, looked up, and then gone. "I've never seen it happen from someone starting in their crease. I don't think you want that filtering down into kids' cricket."

'I’ve kept quiet...': Jonny Bairstow opens up for the first time regarding controversial Ashes stumping

<p>Ricky Ponting, one of Australia’s greatest captains ever and cricket’s keen observer, admitted England’s ultra-attacking style of play, which they called Bazball, did have the Aussies scratching their heads at some point during the recently-concluded Ashes series. Though Ponting said the 2-2 score line is a fair reflection of how both teams fared, he revealed it became tough for the touring side to combat Bazball approach even after leading 2-0 at one point.</p>

<p>While Australia looked comfortable in retaining the urn, which they eventually did (after the fourth Test at Old Trafford got washed out), they failed to win an away Ashes as England crawled their way back and won two of the three remaining Tests to draw series 2-2.&nbsp;</p>

<p>England’s Bazball style made headlines during the five-Test series, but it was Australia’s old-school approach that kept them grounded.</p>

<p>Having witnessed all the drama getting unfolded from close quarters, Ponting, while speaking with former Australian captain Tim Paine on the SEN Tassie breakfast show, said,&nbsp;"The two contrasting styles of play were great to sit back and watch."</p>

<p>"There was a lot of talk about Bazball and how England would approach it, and would that style stand up against the quality of the Australian attack - looking back, it probably did,” Ponting said.</p>

<p>Praising Bazball, Ponting said he’d be lying if he said that let didn’t let Australia rethink their plans across five Tests.</p>

<p>Although a 2-2 result is an overall winner, Ponting remains adamant that the change in the ball during the final Test at the Oval helped England gain momentum.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It probably had some of the Australian players, coaches and the captain at different times scratching their heads as to how they were going to combat it. Think the 2-2 result, albeit probably slightly biased with a bit of controversy in that last Test with the ball changed the way that it was, gifted England some conditions they probably shouldn't have got, think the level of cricket played across the series, the 2-2 result was probably fair," the former Aussie captain added.</p>

<h2>Crawley the difference-maker</h2>

<p>Zak Crawley was England’s highest run-scorer in Ashes (480 runs), and Ponting was mighty impressed with the opener’s performance. He hailed the right-handed batter saying it was Crawley who soaked most of the pressure with his attacking stroke play.</p>

<p>"Zak Crawley has got to take a lot of credit, he was the one going into the series who was under the most pressure.

FIFA Women's World Cup: European champions England upset hosts Australia to set-up final clash against Spain

<p>Former Indian captain Kapil Dev recently revealed that he is a big fan of Bazball, an attacking style of play which England have adopted in&nbsp;Tests since early 2022. The term Bazball came since Brendon McCullum took over as the head coach of Ben Stokes-led England's Test line-up, where players play more attacking at all times.&nbsp;Impressed with England's new brand of cricket, Kapil has urged Rohit Sharma-led India to also play more aggressively to get desired results in the purest format.</p>

<p>It is to be noted that India kicked off their campaign in the 2023-25 WTC cycle with a two-match Test series versus hosts West Indies, winning 1-0. They were in a dominant position in the second and final Test, in Trinidad, at stumps on Day Four. The visitors needed eight more wickets as West Indies were 76&nbsp;for 2 in chase of 365 but rain washed out the entire final day. Thus, Rohit &amp; Co. missed out on a likely series whitewash and adding more points in their kitty in the WTC cycle.</p>

<p>Kapil believes India should take a leaf out of England's Bazball as he hailed the recently-held Ashes 2023, which ended in a 2-2 stalemate in the United Kingdom.</p>

<h2><strong>'Ashes 2023 was one of the finest series'</strong></h2>

<p>"Bazball is wonderful. The series between England and Australia was one of the finest series I have seen in recent times. I think cricket should be played like that. Rohit is good. But he must be more aggressive," Kapil&nbsp;told The Times of India.</p>

<p>"You have to think about how teams like England play now. And it's not just us. All cricket-playing countries have to think on those lines. Winning the game should be the highest priority (not play for draws) for all teams," he added.</p>

<p>Talking about the Ashes, England conceded a 2-0 lead to Pat Cummins-led Australia after losing the opening two games by a whisker. Nonetheless, they did not deter from their aggressive approach as Bazball continued to inspire in the remainder of the series. As a result, the home side won the third Test by three wickets and were very close to a win in the following game before rain had the final say.</p>

<p>In the series decider, Stokes &amp; Co. won by 49 runs to prevent a series loss at home. However, Australia walked away by retaining the urn. The series was a memorable affair which displayed England's free-flowing approach -- termed as Bazball since McCullum took over --&nbsp;to the fore.</p>

Who is Tori Penso? Know about the referee in charge of England vs Australia FIFA Women's World Cup semifinal

<p>One of Test cricket greats, Stuart Broad, announced his international retirement during the fifth Ashes Test at the Kia Oval in London. On his last day in whites, during the final session, Broad even picked two wickets in Todd Murphy and Alex Carey to hand England an impressive 49-run win. However, all that transpired on the field wasn’t as smooth and straightforward as the jubilation made it look.</p>

<p>Broad, who ended his career on a high note with 604 Test wickets – second-most by a seamer in the red-ball format, revealed the real-life talk between him and Captain Ben Stokes before the over in which he dismissed Murphy caught behind.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While many may point out Broad’s ‘mental-game tactics’ of altering the bails as the reason behind him getting lucky and tasting success against Murphy, the seamer himself dropped a bombshell, saying Stokes had informed him just before that it would be his last as Ben wanted to bring in Mark Wood for extra pace.</p>

One of Test cricket greats, Stuart Broad, announced his international retirement during the fifth Ashes Test at the Kia Oval in London. On his last day in whites, during the final session, Broad even picked two wickets in Todd Murphy and Alex Carey to hand England an impressive 49-run win.

One of Test cricket greats, Stuart Broad, announced his international retirement during the fifth Ashes Test at the Kia Oval in London. On his last day in whites, during the final session, Broad even picked two wickets in Todd Murphy and Alex Carey to hand England an impressive 49-run win. However, all that transpired on the field wasn’t as smooth and straightforward as the jubilation made it look. Broad, who ended his career on a high note with 604 Test wickets – second-most by a seamer in the red-ball format, revealed the real-life talk between him and Captain Ben Stokes before the over in which he dismissed Murphy caught behind.

Ashes: 'This will be your last over...': Broad reveals real-time chat with Ben Stokes before Murphy's wicket

<p>Ben Stokes-led England beat Australia by 49 runs to win the fifth and final Test of Ashes 2023 on Monday (July 31), at The Oval, London. With this, they managed to&nbsp;end the high-voltage series at a 2-2 stalemate. Pat Cummins &amp; Co. had already gained an unassailable&nbsp;2-1 lead but&nbsp;had a chance to achieve their first Ashes glory in England since 2001 before Chris Woakes (4 for 50) and&nbsp;Moeen Ali (3 for 76) starred for the home side on the final day.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The day started with Aussie openers David Warner and Usman Khawaja resuming at 135 for no loss, in pursuit of 384. Woakes removed Warner for 60, with a jaffa, before trapping Khawaja for 72. Marnus Labuschagne also departed for 13 before Steve Smith (54) - Travis Head (43) combined and played their strokes to take Australia to lunch without any further damage.</p>

<p>Post the lunch break, rain made its presence felt as proceedings were halted for more than a few hours. Once play resumed, it was all about Moeen's spin and Woakes' accuracy. The duo combined to break Head-Smith's 95-run fourth-wicket stand and Australia soon got reduced&nbsp;to 275 for 7 from 264 for 3. Alex Carey (28) had a lot on his plate to keep the Aussies' hopes&nbsp;alive before the visitors bundled out for 334.</p>

<p><strong>Rain comes to England's rescue</strong></p>

<p>The unpredictable English weather saved Australia from a possible hammering in the fourth and penultimate Test&nbsp;in Manchester. While it enabled them to take an unassailable 2-1 lead, this time the weather disrupted their flow twice during their 384-run chase at The Oval. First, it made its presence felt during the second half of Day Four and returned during the final day when Smith-Head had&nbsp;Australia ahead.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Talking about the fifth Test, England were asked to bat first as Australia dismissed them for 283. It could have been anything less than 200 but the visitors&nbsp;weren't at their best in terms of fielding. Cummins &amp; Co. managed to take a slender 12-run lead, courtesy of their lower-order resistance. England, however, rode on&nbsp;rapid fifties from Zak Crawley, Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow to set up a challenging 384-run target.</p>

<p>The Three Lions were made to sweat hard before&nbsp;Woakes-Moeen and, later, Stuart Broad did the job&nbsp;in what became the latter's final match. The pacer, who ended Ashes 2023 with 22&nbsp;scalps (second-most),&nbsp;announced&nbsp;retirement after the end of Day Three (on Saturday) to end a remarkable career with 604&nbsp;scalps (fifth overall).</p>

<p><strong>ASHES CRICKET, YOU BEAUTY!&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>With a 2-2 scoreline, Ashes 2023 ended in a riveting fashion. Every match had its ups and downs, with four of them seeing a constant shift in momentum. Australia edged past England in the series opener in Edgbaston to win by two wickets and took a 2-0 lead with a 43-run win in the second Test at Lord's. Ben Stokes' 155 almost led to a repeat of Headingley 2019 heroics but the hosts fell short in pursuit of 371 at the <em>Home of Cricket</em>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>England rode on comeback duo Woakes and Mark Wood to win another tight contest in the following Test in Headingley, by three wickets, before rain helped Australia in the penultimate tie in Manchester. Stokes &amp; Co.&nbsp;were made to work hard in the series finale before achieving an inspiring win.</p>

<p>The high-voltage series had plenty of moments. Moeen's Test return,&nbsp;Broad's dominance over Warner,&nbsp;his eventual&nbsp;retirement announcement (when many thought it would be James Anderson),&nbsp;the Jonny Bairstow dismissal,&nbsp;Mitchell Starc's controversial catch,&nbsp;three Marylebone Cricket Club (<em>MCC</em>) members'&nbsp;suspension and many more&nbsp;added to the endless drama. For Broad, the cricketing gods&nbsp;were on his&nbsp;side&nbsp;as he&nbsp;smacked a huge six on his last ball&nbsp;and&nbsp;ended the series with the final two wickets to wrap up an epic career.</p>

<p>Stokes' unorthodox captaincy was matched by Cummins' go-slow approach. England entertained with their Bazball approach (starting the series with a first-ball four from Crawley's willow) whereas Australia stuck to their traditional ways as nothing separated the two heavyweights after five Tests.</p>

England beat Australia in Ashes 2023 finale to end high-voltage series at 2-2 stalemate

<p>Ben Stokes-led England beat Australia by 49 runs in the fifth and final Test of Ashes 2023 to end the high-voltage series at 2-2. The final day's play resumed with Australia 135 for no loss in pursuit of 384&nbsp;at The Oval.&nbsp;The visitors were strongly placed at 264 for 3 before Chris Woakes (4 for 50), Moeen Ali (3 for 76) and Stuart Broad (2 for 62) dismissed Australia for 334 and led their side to an emphatic win.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With this win, England managed to draw the series and stopped Pat Cummins-led Australia from clinching the series 3-1. Had Australia won the final Test, it would have been their first-ever glory in England since 2001, however, the English line-up earned an inspiring win eventually. A lot was said and written about England's Bazball approach in the run-up to the just-concluded Ashes. It was said that England would have to pay the price for their aggressive and high-risk strategy against the formidable Australian side. While they were on the brink of a series loss, England stuck to their approach throughout and eventually managed a 2-2 scoreline.</p>

<p>After Ashes 2023, Stokes was asked, in the post-match press conference, whether England's Bazball will work in their next tour, i.e. a five-match Test series versus India in India. To this, the England Test captain opined, "I&nbsp;remember when we beat New Zealand 3-0, (the chatter) was we couldn't do it against South Africa, (we) couldn't do it against Pakistan, (we) couldn't do it against Australia. So who knows if we can do it against India, only time will tell."</p>

<p>England won't be seen playing the purest form of the game for a few months as the focus now mainly shifts to the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023, to be held in India later this year.

Will Bazball be a success against India? England skipper Ben Stokes responds

<p>Seamer Mark Wood is deemed fully fit to bowl on the final day of the home Ashes as England look for an improbable win at the Kia Oval in London. England held him back until the 33rd over on day four before rain interrupted play and washed out the final session, with Australia reeling at 135 for no loss, needing another 249 runs to win the Test and claim away Ashes for the first time since 2001.</p>

<p>English quick bowled over 80 overs across three Tests played, picking 13 wickets at 20.38 and is said to be worn out by now. While Australia’s tactics of tiring the English bowlers seemed to have worked as they sit in the driver’s seat in this final Test, England’s assistant coach Marcus Trescothick insisted Wood would remain available to bowl throughout the final day.</p>

<p>"He's fit to bowl,” Trescothick told media at the close of the day’s play.</p>

<p>When asked about the reason behind bringing Wood late into the attack, Marcus said it was a tactical decision.</p>

<p>"I think pretty much like everybody, there's little aches and pains that are going off the back of a big five-Test series. Both teams will be travelling in the same way at the moment. But yeah, everyone is fit to bowl. It was a tactical decision,” he added.</p>

<h2>Bazball backfired for English bowlers</h2>

<p>Deploying an ultra-attacking approach, which fans now call Bazball, England had to bear the brunt of it on the flip side. Though their batters showed intent, scoring at over run-a-ball during the five-match series, English bowlers sent down around 193 overs more than what Australian bowlers bowled – a trick that didn’t sit well with ace seamers like Wood.</p>

<p>While Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne went ahead with the plan throughout the series, Michael di Venuto – Oz’s Assistant coach, said it was part of the plan.</p>

<p>"Certainly, part of our plan is to get them to keep coming back and bowling more overs," Venuto said.</p>

<p>On Trescothick’s comment on Wood, Venuto said, "I'm not sure of those tactics," he said. "Whether he is carrying an injury, whether he can only bowl a certain amount of overs, I'm not sure. There was some spin, so [I was] not surprised to see the two off-spinners wheeling away at one end."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, July 31, Monday, which happens to be the final day of intriguing Ashes, is also Stuart Broad’s last day in international cricket. The veteran seamer announced his decision to set aside after the third day’s play, having played for around 17 years and ending as England’s second-highest wicket-taker in Tests (with over 600 scalps).</p>

Ashes, 5th Test: 'Worn-out' Mark Wood fit to bowl on day five as England eye unlikely win

<p>England got things running at the Oval in London on the final day of the fifth Test as seamer Chris Woakes provided hosts with an early breakthrough in the first half an hour. Woakes bowled a Jaffa to dismiss David Warner, caught behind on 60 from 106 balls. Coming over the wicket to Warner, who is also playing his last innings in England, the left-hander edged one playing on the front foot.</p>

Ashes: Chris Woakes removes David Warner off Jaffa as England break opening stand - WATCH

<p>After stumps on Day Three of the fifth and final Test of Ashes 2023, on Saturday (July 29), Stuart Broad dropped a bomb by announcing his retirement. Broad, a veteran of over 600 scalps in the red-ball format, stated that he wanted to bow out on a high and, thus, planned to step aside. Ever since Broad announced his retirement, speculations are rife that James Anderson might also call it quits.</p>

<p>At 42, many were expecting Anderson to retire after Ashes 2023. However, Broad did the unthinkable. Thus, many believed Anderson might also follow Broad but the speedster stated that he is even 'more firm to keep going'. "I'm even more firm that I want to keep going. My body is fine, my skills are fine, I'm bowling well enough - even though I've had a really disappointing by the standard I expect from myself," Anderson told Sky Sports prior to the start of the final day's play of Ashes 2023 finale on Monday (July 31).</p>

<p>On Broad's sudden retirement call, Anderson mentioned, "I was a bit shocked when he [Broad] told me. We've love playing together; it's been incredibly special and I'll definitely miss him. I respect his decision. He seems very clear on what he wants to do, and yesterday morning was really special getting to walk out with him on the field and watching him hit his last ball in cricket for six," he further added.</p>

<p>Anderson -- with 690 Test wickets -- will be eager to play a big role in England's win on the fifth and final day of Ashes 2023 -- where they need ten wickets to level the series at 2-2 -- and give a perfect farewell to Broad, one of his closest teammates.</p>

Ashes 2023: 'I want to keep going' - James Anderson to not retire post Stuart Broad's shocking announcement

<p>Rain continued to make headlines in the ongoing Ashes as it washed out the final session on day four, keeping Australia in the chase of 384. With openers David Warner and Usman Khawaja stitching a 135-run stand for the first wicket, the visitors are on the right track to win Oval Test and seal the away Ashes for the first time since 2001.</p>

<p>The day started with all eyeballs on Stuart Broad, who shockingly announced his international retirement following the third day's play in London.</p>

<p>He, and his long-time bowling partner and birthday boy James Anderson, walked down, the Aussie cricketers gave him a guard of honour.</p>

<p>The left-handed batting pair added 14 runs to the overall tally, with Broad even hitting a six off Mitchell Starc - his last in international cricket. Off-spinner Todd Murphy removed Anderson trapped in front on eight, as Australia wrapped up England's second innings on 395, setting them the target of 384 to win.</p>

<p>Broad and Anderson, for the last time together, opened the bowling, much to loud cheers from the crowd.

<p>At 135-0, when players took drinks, the rain came down, and the game halted. While Aussies waited keenly for the rain to stop playing spoilsport, a few days after wishing for the same during the previous Test, England was happy knowing Australia's momentum would break now.</p>

<p>As things stand, on Stuart Broad's last day in international cricket, unless rain again comes down, both teams will fight for the win. While Australia need another 249 runs to win, England need ten wickets to stand tall and level the series.</p>
