The England Cricket Team are into 6/4 to win SPOTY Team of the Year after successful start to the 'Bazball' era
The 'Bazball' era of English Cricket is now well and truly underway after England's 3-0 thumping of New Zealand was completed earlier this week.
Bookies have straight away installed the England Cricket Team as 6/4 favourites to be the SPOTY Team of the Year after that performance.
Brendon 'Baz' McCullum has come in as England's new coach and completely transformed the way in which the team plays.
Gone are the timid, slow batting performances from the last 18 months and instead they're replaced by fast paced all action cricket.
7 key principles of 'Bazball'
According to various newspaper reports, 'Bazball' has 7 key principles that make it tick.
The principles were outlined by inews, which stated how captain Ben Stokes and the other players have got behind McCullum since he came in.
The 7 key principles of 'Bazball' are:
- A less reflective environment
- No negative chat
- A win-at-all-costs mentality
- No fear of failure
- Praise – even for the little things
- Simplicity of message
- Embracing mental freedom and fun
The 'Bazball' era is well and truly underway after the 3-0 whitewash of New Zealand and England face India later this week.
