Bazball, A flash in the pan or something bigger?
Read this article on my WordPress: here
News came out of Pakistan that England had scored a whopping 506 runs on the first day of the Test in 75 overs. This beat the record for most runs on Day 1 of a Test, which has stood since 1910, and likely would’ve seen the all-time record of a combined 588 runs on day 2 of the 2nd 1936 Test between England and India had bad light not stopped the final 15 overs from happening.
Just as a comparison on what could be considered an easy-to-bat-on pitch in Perth, Western Australia, the Australians made 598 runs in almost 153 overs, over double the number of overs over 2 days against what would be a less dangerous bowling attack than Pakistans in the West Indies, an amalgamation of Caribbean countries.
Let’s go even further with this, a One Day game between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan finished after 99 and two-thirds of an over scoring 627 runs total. One Day games have fielding restrictions which open up the batting and allow for more aggressive scores. 627 divided by 99.67 is approximately 6.29 runs an over. The Australians in their test match had a scoring rate of approximately 3.92 runs an over, much more in line with what you’d expect over a 5-day test match. The English? They were scoring 6.75 runs an over on the first day of the test.
The English Cricket team has been known for this type of aggression batting in test matches since Brendon “Baz” McCullum became Head coach of the test team in May 2022. This was after the 2021-22 Ashes series in Australia, in which England lost the 5-match series 4-0. Such is the way of the test side right now, that the England side that won the Twenty20 World cup in November last month, a cautious but still striking the ball at over a run a ball score of 52 English Test captain Ben Stokes in the final, led to fellow player Jos Buttler joking “If he batted like that in a Test match he’d drop himself”. For the record, England’s runs per over in that game? 7.26.
The question is, should Australia be worried that England is just dominating Pakistan right now? Not yet at the very least, Pakistan are yet to bat, so we are yet to see how much the pitch is contributing to England’s batting, however, England does have a home series vs Australia in the middle of next year, and recent Australian tours of England have not proven fruitful for us, the best we have managed in recent years is the 2019 2-2 drawn series, meaning we retained the Ashes and left England for the first time since 2001 with the trophy.
But with England being able to sustain this way of batting in test matches since McCullum’s takeover of the helm and notably aggressive batter Ben Stokes becoming Test Captain, I would not be holding my breath for a successful 2023 Ashes Campaign for the Australians.
