‘No glory in failure’ Sir Geoffrey Boycott has slammed England Cricket Team after their loss in the IND vs ENG Vizag Test. England’s loss in the Test has been deemed as Bazball’s failure by the cricketing legend. Boycott harshly claimed that the Three Lions gave the Test match away and this Bazball has been a failure.
While fans have been entertained by England’s aggressive approach, but Boycott claimed that Joe Root’s wicket was a result of Bazball. Boycott slamming Ben Stokes’s claim of ‘‘if we can’t win, we will go down in glorious failure instead’.
“There is no glory in failure or defeat,” Boycott wrote in The Telegraph. “Bazball cost Joe Root his wicket. As soon as he came in he was dancing down the pitch trying to hit over the top and very soon swiped it up in the air. He only scored 16. England’s best technical batsman is normally a busy player who scores at a good rate but trying to go after the bowling as soon as he comes in takes him out of his comfort zone.“

The English legend has hit hard at Ben Stokes and Co. He has claimed that the aggressive approach in T20s have got into their head. He has resembled England’s batting to baseball, where batters aim to hit hard at every ball.
“Twenty20 cricket seems to have got in their head and made them think that every ball must be scored off with an aggressive stroke, sweep, swipe or cross batted shot. Twenty20 is cricket’s answer to baseball where you attempt a big hit every time. England’s batting resembled Twenty20,” Boycott wrote.
