If We See the Downfall of the Cult of Bazball, Let’s Savour Its Legacy.
The Journey of a Phenomenon tends to be defined by distinct phases.
1. The Core Concept
An inspiring figure or figureheads introduce a new and transcendent idea that promises a panacea for disconnected individuals.
And so it goes. Plans are in motion to challenge the establishment overseas. Pressure is mounting. Conflict emerges from the out-houses. One individual, vulnerable, shivering, the slogan POSITIVE INTENT written on his body in chicken blood, has stumbled into view and is taken aside with discretion to a different team in county cricket.
Do you ever miss the early days, when everything was fresh? The era of early Bazball, of Bazball without brains.
2. Love-Bombing
Cult leaders offer a fresh beginning, a brighter tomorrow, support, salvation among a group who all believe in the philosophy.
What did it represent back then? Just men on a balcony enjoying success. Ink. Forearms. Jawlines. Peak performance vibes. Oh sure, England’s players insist it’s not a real term, ironically since it’s not recognized, what was that spectacle?
However, everyone understands its essence. It’s the player executing a stroke so depraved it’s beyond belief. It’s the adrenaline of the captain in ultimate mode, an expression conveying: thoughtful warrior, strong features, untamed style, genuinely raw you half-expect to look down and see him playing in the field bare-chested and cradling a wild salmon.
It’s Ben Duckett still being allowed to talk in press conferences, out there looking like a happy little woodland creature in a waistcoat, uttering phrases such as we’re challenging norms. Certainly, the vibe, for quite a long time, was only good energy.
3. A New Life
Growth phase. Unity enforced via memorization of the cult’s slogans. These beliefs may seem irrational to prove commitment.
Does anyone else feel? The reaction, the outrage, the feeling of letdown following the initial loss feels overblown, unwarranted. England batted badly on the field, as history shows. They were savaged defensively during a brief period as plans unraveled, manipulated by the batsman batting like England but better, adaptive to conditions, an athlete shining with brilliance.
And now we have this the pile-on, the anger, the view of the sport as a failure. The consensus is that losing isn’t enough, they should be dismantled, to be purged, flame-throwered, overwhelmed via traditional methods of the pace attack, the simple basics of Scott Boland, out there celebrating his wickets modestly like he’s just been given a rewarding prize. What impact will this have?
4. The Backlash Phase
Problems arise from failures in the plan. But the cult cannot admit errors. It turns to hatred of the outside world.
The fact remains, a few days before from the second Test, we have now reached a delicious point of tension in the journey of this approach. Victory is possible in Brisbane through aggressive play. More likely, failure may follow. Should they fail it feels like we really might be entering the death cult phase.
Ahead of this, several aspects to consider about this. In the past, back in those heady early days, of passion and hope, an piece was published labeling it a movement. There was outrage, which demonstrated since it’s clear a method to show something definitely isn’t a cult is should followers react defensively rejecting criticism of the beliefs.
What has happened in the last few days are equally notable. Criticism of the approach has turned into a movement. Social media is furious, disappointed commentators, shots of angry middle-aged followers overseas disappointed by the short match, reminiscent of people wanting fairness.
Meanwhile, we have the wider backdrop of the host’s complex ingrained annoyance with the aggressive tourists, out there saying, the methods you value and have developed to distinguish yourselves from others, well, it’s all a bit of a gag ultimately.
Here lies the truth. All movements are similar. The style was a trend because cricket is a cult. In fact, the team has long been exclusive, a circle, an elite gathering, a restricted environment with two hundred years of ceremonial past defining it. This has always been where entry is limited. It’s the colonial game of the British, the early image-makers. And guess what, the nation has its own culture, a series of esoteric hierarchies, a monarchy still exists.
England’s cricketers have been enclosed within this world from a young age. Attempting to break free, to build a better atmosphere, they are just repeating their upbringing, creating another a bubble, a closed circle, however with 15 cool guys and a mentor who wants you to be yourself as long as yourself is quite a lot like myself.
Live where your feet are. Embrace challenges. But no matter how fast and far you run, you remain stuck.
Reflecting on this, it might be appropriate to offer compassion for Bazball, to acknowledge its merits, which are significant. What is Bazball? Promoting liberation. Challenging orthodoxies. Batting aggressively|Attacking with
