Bazball is an Ashes blueprint: Ponting sparks new controversy
Ricky Ponting has reignited the debate around England's Bazball strategy by claiming that the aggressive approach was never a broad transformation of Test cricket but rather a targeted plan aimed solely at winning the Ashes in Australia. "Bazball, as far as I'm concerned, and I know Brendon reasonably well, was only designed for this one series (Ashes)," Ponting stated.
