England in Command of first test as 'Bazball' hits New Zealand

McCullum devised the eponymous strategy of all-out attack during his successful tenure as Kiwi captain

England head coach Brendon McCullum will bring Bazball back to his birthplace in a two-Test series against New Zealand which begins in Mount Maunganui on Thursday.

McCullum devised the eponymous strategy of all-out attack during his successful tenure as New Zealand captain when he used it to upend the Black Caps’ traditional conservative approach and underdog mindset.

The policy largely reflects his own nature as one of cricket’s most attacking batsmen and his approach to life.

McCullum figured if somebody was going to play cricket, it should be fun.

Captain Ben Stokes, though, is keener on concentrating on England’s current fast bowling group which does add to his confidence.

“I’d rather be in a position where I’m scratching my head about who to ick.

“The one thing I did say to the medical team is to just give me eight fast bowlers to choose from.
