Perfect summation in my view. Like many I have enjoyed much of what England have produced in the last 2 1/2 years since the inception of Bazball. I have always felt, though that there is a certain arrogance about their attitude, which I’m afraid grates. As has been mentioned NZ have shown what can be done in subcontinent conditions and yet this seems lost on much of the English cricket media. Unfortunately for me as well has become a cult and I know I’m going to harsh, but some of these players and the management team need to grow up a little bit.
