David Willey Urges England To Temper Bazball After 0-2 Ashes Start

The former all-rounder says game management must trump bravado before Adelaide.

Overview

  • England trail Australia 0-2 after consecutive eight-wicket defeats in Perth and Brisbane.
  • David Willey backs the aggressive mindset but warns it has been over‑applied without enough situational adaptation.
  • Willey highlights clustered batting collapses and missed key moments, pointing to Perth’s third innings as pivotal.
  • He notes Ben Stokes has recognised the need for refinement and has signalled adjustments for the remainder of the series.
  • The term “Bazball” is used more by media than players, Willey says, as England prepare for the third Test in Adelaide on December 17.
