The \u2018Bazball\u2019 term came into being on the basis of \u2018Baz\u2019 nickname of England\u2019s Test coach Brendon McCullum. \u201cI\u2019m 2-0 against Bazball so I am happy. It\u2019s a load of shit, if you ask me. It\u2019s a brand of cricket that the English want to keep going with. Now it\u2019s in the dictionary which is pretty extraordinary,\u201d said Lyon on Channel 7's Front Bar show.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The series, which ended in a 2-2 draw, was hugely overshadowed by Jonny Bairstow being stumped by Alex Carey during the second Test at Lord's, which sparked a big debate over the 'spirit of cricket' notion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Lyon, who has taken 496 Test wickets for Australia, felt Bairstow was to be blamed for the stumping, as he wandered out of his crease when Carey fired in the throw. \"It's quite simple. Stay in your crease and you won't get out.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"But I was in the change rooms on my crutches watching and I think I celebrated more than anyone. It was pretty amazing. But I've never seen a crowd react like that after anything.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
That dismissal sparked unsavoury scenes in the Long Room at Lord\u2019s, with many members of the MCC facing various bans for abusing the visiting Australian cricketers when they were on their way back to the dressing room. The reaction of people in England to the stumping was amusing for Australian team, according to Lyon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We all found it pretty funny. You look in the Long Room and we all said we were more a chance of getting sued than punched. So we were pretty amazed by it. But it was funny. When the guys came back out after lunch, it was like the members got spoken to from the head master and it was all primary school kids again,\" he concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/11\/didnt-really-see-any-bazball-in-my-two-tests-against-england-says-australia-spinner-nathan-lyon.jpg", "alt_img": "Didn\u2019t really see any Bazball in my two Tests against England, says Australia spinner Nathan Lyon", "alt_title": "Ashes 2023: Nathan Lyon becomes first specialist bowler to play 100 consecutive Test matches", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Didn\u2019t Really See Any Bazball In My Two Tests Against England, Says Australia Spinner Nathan Lyon On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Didn\u2019t Really See Any Bazball In My Two Tests Against England, Says Australia Spinner Nathan Lyon, Nathan Lyon: Australia\u2019s veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon said he did not see any kind of 'Bazball' being played by England.", "seo_keywords": "Nathan Lyon, New Delhi, Ashes Tests, Brendon McCullum, Front Bar, Jonny Bairstow, Alex Carey, Long Room", "tag": "", "tagging": "Nathan Lyon, New Delhi, Ashes Tests, Brendon McCullum, Front Bar, Jonny Bairstow, Alex Carey, Long Room", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "didnt-really-see-any-bazball-in-my-two-tests-against-england-says-australia-spinner-nathan-lyon", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1127", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-11-25 12:16:04", "updated": "2023-11-25 12:16:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Nathan Lyon, New Delhi, Ashes Tests, Brendon McCullum, Front Bar, Jonny Bairstow, Alex Carey, Long Room", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-11-25 12:16:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/didnt-really-see-any-bazball-in-my-two-tests-against-england-says-australia-spinner-nathan-lyon-132866" }
