Former England cricket captain Geoffrey Boycott has delivered a scathing assessment of England’s performance, particularly their approach to T20 cricket, in the aftermath of their 106-run defeat to India in the second Test. Boycott’s critique comes at a time when England finds itself grappling with significant challenges in the ongoing Test series against India.

In his candid evaluation, Boycott expressed vehement disapproval of England’s “BAZBALL” approach, signaling his dissatisfaction with the team’s tactics and overall performance. His remarks have ignited fervent discussions and debates within the cricketing community, shining a spotlight on the intense scrutiny facing the England team following their defeat.

“It’s as if they say ‘If we can’t win, we will go down in glorious failure instead. But there is no glory in failure or defeat. Bazball is great entertainment when it comes off. But once you believe in an ideal over substance then you have lost the plot. Today England gave the match away. Bazball was a failure,” Boycott wrote in his column in Telegraph.

“You would have thought England had learned from giving away the Ashes last summer. The ‘gung ho’ batting at Edgbaston and Lord’s gave two Tests matches away. Runs win Test matches, not style,” he added.

Boycott’s criticism underscores the mounting pressure on England to reassess their strategies and tactics as they strive to bounce back in the series. The impact of Boycott’s remarks, coupled with the team’s response to the criticism, is poised to be closely monitored by fans and pundits alike as the series progresses.

As England navigates the challenges posed by the formidable Indian side, Boycott’s critique serves as a stark reminder of the high expectations placed upon the team and the need for a concerted effort to address their shortcomings. With the series hanging in the balance, the England team faces a pivotal moment as they seek to regroup and reclaim their competitive edge in the face of formidable opposition.
