Possible the most impressive achievement of Stokes and McCullum is that they’ve taken non-paying rental space in cricketing heads around the world. Bazball this, Bazball that, such-and-such-ball, can’t stop mentioning it. All without an England player in sight. #AUSvIND - ThreadSky

Which is some achievement as the whole approach was probably born out of lack of options.

Could you explain what you mean please? I’m confused by ‘non-paying rental space’? Genuine question from an old lady.

The term is more commonly “living rent free” in someone’s mind. I.e. everyone is comparing anything new in cricket - specifically the new Aussie wonder kid Konstas - with Bazball. Without McCullum or Stokes saying anything.

Yep, Andrew has it!

Eng have played into it with deliberately contrarian statements and positions. Feels a bit “don’t criticise us, you don’t understand, we’re disruptors”

Cricket has been exciting but the attitude I can do without.

And it cost us the Ashes.

I'm not sure the words "impressive" or "achievement" belong in this sentence. 🤷

Perhaps “cheek”, “tongue” and “in” do.

My bad I guess. 😉
