[Saba Sports News] “Bazball” cricket, a term describing the aggressive approach of the English cricket team in Test cricket, has gained worldwide recognition and been included in the Collins English Dictionary as one of the ten most significant new words of 2023. However, Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne was not impressed by this development, describing it as “garbage” in an interview with cricket.com.au.
Turning to Australia’s performance in the ODI World Cup 2023, the team faced a rocky start, losing their first two games against India and South Africa. Under the leadership of Pat Cummins, they bounced back with four consecutive wins, currently occupying the fourth spot in the standings with eight points in six matches. Australia aims to maintain their form and secure a place in the tournament’s knockout stages.
Next up, Australia will face arch-rivals England in the 36th match of the World Cup 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, November 4. England, in contrast, has struggled in the tournament, winning just one of their six games and sitting in 10th place with two points. The clash against Australia will be a significant test for the Jos Buttler-led side.
