England cricket: Bazball is Beardball
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that with the first Test of the summer concluding at Lords with an England victory, it is clear that Bazball is also Beardball.
The robust style of cricket introduced by England coach Brendan McCullum has beards at its centre.
Both McCullum and England captain Ben Stokes have beards as did many of the England side who faced Ireland at Lords.
The campaigners say that it is not only the visual impact of the England player’s beards, which may distract opponents, but also the interaction between facial hair and bat and ball. This can be crucial and is one of the least understood aspects of Bazball.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, Bazball is synonymous with Beard Power. The days of clean shaven cricket are coming to an end. BazBeardBall will be key in the forthcoming Ashes series
