Australia’s passive response to Bazball draws mixed response in papers and on air

Andrew Miller17-Jun-2023What would the late, great Shane Warne have made of it all? A deep point in position for Australia’s first delivery of the series? A first-day declaration with Joe Root in full flow? Two batters stumped on the opening day of the Ashes – the first time that’s happened since Lord’s in 1890?Everywhere you looked at a raucous Edgbaston, there was discombobulation to be found, as England laid out their summer’s manifesto with a performance every bit as unfettered – and borderline unhinged – as the Bazball revolution had promised it would be.And in response, the Australians went … well, a bit “un-Australian” in the words of the former England captain Alastair Cook on Test Match Special – and had that exact same sentiment been uttered by Warne himself, it would probably have counted as the most excoriating verdict ever to have been uttered in an Ashes contest.As it was, Australia’s commentators for the most part kept their counsel on a day that arguably ended with their side in fractional command in terms of the scoreboard, if not so much of the narrative of the contest.”They’ve gone defensive straightaway,” Ricky Ponting said in hushed tones on Sky Sports, adding that he was “not a huge fan” of Cummins’ deep backward point to Zak Crawley, which soon became four boundary riders when the cut-savvy Ben Duckett came onto strike during his brief stay.”Yes the bad ball might get cut, or square driven through backward point. But you’ve got to be able to protect yourself, protect your good ball and keep the batsman on strike,” Ponting added. “If the scoreboard continually ticks over, batsmen never feel under pressure at all.”Writing in The Times, Gideon Haigh remarked that Australia’s field placings were “so negative they were almost inert”, while pointing out that the same bowling attack in Australia had dismissed England for fewer than 200 on six occasions out of ten.Related

“Cummins did not so much revert to defence as embark from it,” Haigh added. “Within a few overs, more fielders were patrolling the perimeter than lurking in the cordon — an umbrella field of a different kind, complete with sou’ wester and oilskin coat, as a precaution against a deluge of boundaries.”Kevin Pietersen on Sky Sports didn’t mince his words either. “Australia have got it wrong, but from an England perspective it is fantastic to see Australia so defensive,” he said. “I think that they went straight to plan-B.”Geoff Lemon in The Guardian, however, had no such issue with the tactics, and preferred to focus solely on the day’s outcome. “When the action finally got under way at Edgbaston, Australia coped just fine,” he wrote. “Dynamism and controlling the flow of the match are well and good. On this pitch though, however it came about, keeping England to 393 would have the Australians well pleased.”In the end, the surprise declaration was the only truly Bazball moment that Stokes could inject into the day,” Lemon added. “It could be characterised as brave or as reckless, and probably that assessment would change depending whether it worked. In this case it didn’t.”Writing in Australia’s , Robert Craddock wrote of the message the declaration sent.”On paper, Ben Stokes’ declaration failed because Australia was 0-14 at stumps and licking its lips at the prospect of batting on a docile deck. England could pay for being so bold. But don’t underestimate the force of a message that says ‘we are coming at you hard … from head-on and occasionally left field’.”Over in the , Daniel Brettig compared the early exchanges to the Rumble in the Jungle.”Famously, Ali absorbed a flurry of Foreman’s punches on the ropes in Kinshasa before breaking through to land a knockout blow in the eighth round,” he wrote. “Australia’s cricketers, having finally been confronted with the fearless tactics and mindset of England, now have a firsthand idea of what their own path to Ashes victory will have to comprise.”Nevertheless, we’re only one day into a five-match series, and for Simon Wilde in The Times, this summer’s psychological battle is only just getting started.”Australian teams love to dictate terms and would have hated being dragged around like this tactically,” he wrote, “being made to do things they do not normally do, seemingly at the whim of an England team who when they last met could not have been more pliable, more supine, and barely landed a punch all series.”While Australia will naturally consider themselves very much in the game, this sense of being buffeted by a storm they are still trying to comprehend will disturb them. Might they sleep on the thought that England left some runs out there, that they themselves might be able to go well past 400 and set themselves up for later in the game … and in the process just get ahead of themselves?”It was a theme that Tim Wigmore also explored in The Telegraph. “It is always disingenuous when teams proclaim to have no interest in how their opponents play,” he wrote. “The question that lurked behind Australia’s opening-day display was whether prudent planning had become something else: Focusing on the opposition’s strengths at the expense of their own.”

Wyatt also played a vital hand to make the Ashes 6-4 in a rain-adjusted chase

Valkerie Baynes08-Jul-2023Alice Capsey found some timely form to help England to a thrilling victory which sealed the T20I leg for the hosts and kept their Ashes hopes alive.Chasing a revised target of 119 from 14 overs, Danni Wyatt’s 26 from 15 balls started the rain-reduced run chase off brightly but it was Capsey’s 46 from 23, including a stand of 68 off 44 balls for the third wicket with Nat Sciver-Brunt that gave England enough of a buffer ahead of some late drama in the form of wickets to Georgia Wareham and Jess Jonassen in the last two overs.England, playing at Lord’s for only the second time since their 2017 World Cup victory, thrilled a crowd of 21,610, a record for a women’s bilateral fixture in England, with their five-wicket victory, the first time Australia have lost a series since the 2017-18 Ashes, when they also lost the T20 leg. Australia still lead this multi-format series by six points to four, with England needing to win all three ODIs if they are to win back the Ashes.Beth Mooney and Ashleigh Gardner both contributed 32 runs and Ellyse Perry was pivotal in adding 34 off 25 balls to help rescue the Australians from 66 for 3 and post a respectable target of 156. That was revised when the rain which had briefly halted play during Australia’s innings returned during the interval and delayed the restart considerably.Capsey comes goodWyatt picked up from her match-defining half-century on Wednesday to set England’s run chase off to a bright start with six fours on her way to 26. Wyatt, so strong against spin, crunched the offspin of Gardner for back-to-back fours through the covers and crashed Megan Schutt for three more, including a deft steer through deep third so that by the time she edged behind attempting to cut at the end of the shortened four-over powerplay England were 39 for 1. Dunkley skied the very next ball from Darcie Brown down Jonassen’s throat at backward point but then Capsey stepped in.Capsey, who had scores of 3 and 5 in the first two matches, found some fine touch at the perfect moment. She launched Jonassen for six over deep midwicket and after seven overs, the halfway point of their innings, England were 65 for 2. A clever scoop by Capsey to the rope through third brought up the fifty-partnership with Sciver-Brunt and England needed 26 off four overs.Wareham conceded just four runs off the 11th but then Capsey unleashed a massive six into the stands over deep midwicket off Schutt followed by four down the ground to release the pressure on England. She holed out to Gardner four runs shy of her half-century but her stand of 68 off 44 balls with Sciver-Brunt was decisive. There was to be more drama though, Sciver-Brunt bowled by Wareham with England still needing two runs off the last seven balls and Jonassen trapping Heather Knight lbw with the first ball of the final over. Then Dani Gibson, who made her international debut in the first match of this T20 series, calmly reverse-swept Jonassen for four to seal victory with four balls to spare.Amy Jones’ outstanding glove work was on display at Lord’s•Getty Images

Dream start for EnglandOffspinner Charlie Dean opened the bowling and conceded 10 off the first over, including back-to-back fours through the covers and fine leg by Alyssa Healy. But a switch to the Nursery End in the fourth over yielded a wicket first ball when Dean pinned Healy back in her crease and struck the front pad directly in line with middle stump. Mooney was slow to get going with just four runs off 11 balls after four overs. She broke the shackles somewhat with a sweep off Dean which beat a sprawling Lauren Bell at square leg and then Dean parried a sharp caught-and-bowled chance, which umpire Sue Redfern managed to evade with a sway of the head.At the end of the powerplay, Australia were 36 for 1 and they were 37 for 2 a short time later when Tahlia McGrath lofted Gibson’s back-of-a-length ball straight to Capsey at mid off. By the time she fell attempting to lap Sciver-Brunt only to see her stumps splayed, Mooney had reached 32 from 27 balls, including three fours off Sarah Glenn’s first over, twice through midwicket and then down the ground and Australia were 66 for 3 at the halfway point of their innings.Prime PerryEngland negated the threat of Gardner on 32 from 25 deliveries with a superb take over head height by Amy Jones off Sciver-Brunt with Perry still settling in. Perry had almost seen her side home with a barnstorming 51 not out from 27 balls in Australia’s three-run defeat at The Oval and, after a brief rain interruption with Australia 106 for 4 after 15 overs here, she went on the attack again. Perry pulled the first ball after the rain break, from Gibson, over backward square leg for six and helped herself to 17 runs off Sciver-Brunt in the 18th over, including three fours in four balls, all behind the wicket.Perry was adjudged lbw to Bell in the 19th over and, given the stage of the game, she called for a review. But with the DRS down, she had to abide by the on-field decision, which replays later showed was the right one. Grace Harris took up the task with an effective 25 from 15 after Bell dropped a sitter at backward point off the first ball of the final over.Harris was put down by Gibson at long on next ball then capitalised by finding the boundary wide of long on. Sophie Ecclestone took matters into her own hands when she bowled Annabel Sutherland with the penultimate ball of the innings, with Harris run out on the last.

Players learn news while in field on third afternoon against Hampshire at Ageas Bowl

Vithushan Ehantharajah28-Sep-2023Surrey 207 and 112 for 6 (Sudharsan 31*, Prest 2-32) need another 73 runs to beat Hampshire 219 and 172 (Vince 56, Jacks 5-87)A butterfly flapped its wings – in this case, Tom Taylor clattering the stumps of No.11 Jamie Porter at Wantage Road – and 115 miles away at the Ageas Bowl, Will Jacks pulled out of delivering the fourth ball of the 24th over to clap the travelling fans sat in the stands at square leg. Surrey were 2023 County Champions.Essex had been bowled out for 211, the requirement of full batting points along with a win unfulfilled after losing their final five wickets on the morning of day three. It meant Surrey’s own first-innings malaise of 207 would go unpunished, and yet another season of otherwise unrelenting brilliance rewarded with title number 21, and second under head coach Gareth Batty.”When I heard those cheers, I didn’t know what to do,” Jacks said of that moment the Championship was confirmed. “I looked around at everyone. Foakesy was clapping but everyone was still in the same spot – I didn’t know if we would come together and have a high-five and huddle. I just did a little clap and looked around and got on with it.”I bowled a pie and the next few overs were terrible. I didn’t know what to do.” Jacks went on to take 5 for 87, as Hampshire were dismissed for 172 to set Surrey a target of 185 that – to judge by their stumble to 112 for 6 at the close – they don’t wholly seem bothered about chasing.”I’m out of suggestions [for the guys batting in the morning],” joked Rory Burns, now with three titles as captain. His main objective of a successful title defence, having failed to achieve that in 2019, has been ticked.”It feels pretty special,” Burns said. “We set out to go back-to-back and the way we have done that is very pleasing.”Essex have pushed us all the way so there was pressure around this week, so it was all about winning the game this week as that was the best method to do that. To get over the line without having to finish our job is nice.”Essex were the side that toppled Surrey four years ago, and Burns admitted their disappointing sixth-place showing in that year’s campaign had influenced the squad’s approach this time around.”We learned a few lessons from [winning in] 2018. The way we have played our cricket this year has been really positive. How we have taken games on and seized the initiative in big moments. We didn’t want to defend it this season, we wanted to attack it. Not many teams go back-to-back so that is a feather in our cap and a really pleasing element to this one.”As far as successful title defences go, a feat they’ve achieved on 11 previous occasions, this was somewhat unremarkable in that it relied on errors elsewhere. Essex did push Surrey close, winning six on the bounce before their penultimate-round defeat to Hampshire. But those from south London had established ample ground between themselves and the rest in the months before. Of the many things in Surrey’s bank, points was one of them.Those in the away dressing-room embraced upon confirmation of their title, followed by chants of “Champeones!” from the stands as the players on the field got ready for the next over. Ryan Patel, who started the match in the XI before being replaced by Jamie Smith from the third innings of the match, was spotted heading into the changing room with a pre-printed flag honouring Surrey’s achievement.Only when they made it through to lunch did the players on the field embrace in the middle, as James Vince and Nick Gubbins headed off with Hampshire on 67 for 2, leading by 78, as if that even mattered anymore.Surrey celebrate after their Championship title retention was confirmed•Surrey CCC/Getty Images

Alec Stewart, director of cricket, stepped onto the field to embrace the team, starting with Burns, and when the ground MC announced Surrey as champions, applause from all in the stands scored their walk off. By stumps, they were 112 for 6 chasing a target of 185, with a few shots making you wonder if they were (understandably) trying to finish it tonight. Either way, a night in the Ageas Bowl Hilton awaits.If the blow of a Championship spurned led to Essex’s collapse to an innings defeat at Northampton, Surrey were certainly buoyed by their fresh crown, emerging to take Hampshire’s last eight first-innings wickets for the addition with 105. The pitch, which has turned throughout, seemingly went into overdrive as Jacks claimed a first five-wicket bag for Surrey, adding to the maiden first-class haul of 6 for 161 on Test debut against Pakistan in Rawalpindi last December.It was particularly quirky given that Jacks had come in from ODI duty to replace Tom Lawes on day two, who had taken 5 for 27 in the first innings. The pair say they are claiming the 10-wicket match haul together. Jacks even adopted a white-ball approach for a breezy second innings cameo of 24 from 16, striking two sixes and two fours before falling as the fifth wicket. Sai Sudharsan remains unbeaten on 31, with Jordan Clark.The booze had been flowing shortly before bad light ended the day at 5.26pm. Later, Kemar Roach knocked up his favourite concoction – Guinness, sweet milk and cinnamon. Bubbles weren’t too far off. Whether the remaining 73 runs get knocked off is academic. Soon after stumps, those not involved in the travelling group of players and staff, such as Test vice-captain Ollie Pope (recovering from a shoulder dislocated during the Ashes), Surrey chief executive Steve Elworthy and an assortment of friends and family had made their way into the away dressing-room. Even actor Rory Kinnear, he of the Daniel Craig run of James Bond films, joined them.This has been a real team effort, of old, new and overseas. As many as 19 players have been used across the 14 matches, nine of whom are academy graduates. Moreover, they have contended throughout with absences at the Indian Premier League and England duty. Even here, having welcomed back Smith and Jacks from the ODI series against Ireland, they are without Sam Curran and Gus Atkinson, who headed to India on Wednesday evening for the 50-over World Cup.No batter will finish the season with four figures, but Ben Foakes has been the standout with three centuries. No bowler has reached 50 dismissals, with Jordan Clark and Dan Worrall settling for an impressive haul of 48 apiece, at 21.35 and 24.20 respectively.They were ruthless when they needed to be, with four of their eight wins to date coming inside three days. When they were pushed into dark corners, they emerged gloriously into the light, notably after being skittled for 145 against Kent in their first innings back after the first Championship break, then chased down 501 for the loss of just five to win. And even that carried an air of inevitability.Over the last two years, they have suffered two defeats in 27 matches. The first – the last match of the 2022 season at Lancashire – was after a week (and then some) of revelry having sewn up the title a round early. It may well be three in 28 by tomorrow for the same reasons.There’s no better reason for losing a match than having completed a gruelling, six-month-long marathon with time to spare and marking it accordingly. Imagine how good you have to be to do that twice?
