"It didn't take a lot of persuading" 🤝 | Athers chats to McCullum about white-ball appointment

[@stanleydsouza5498]

Test cricket known as 'pure' cricket is largely alive due to the this man. England may not be the number one team but he is the one who has brought excitement back to test cricket. He is the ultimate disruptor to test cricket and history will judge him kindly. Loads of people are around, who want him to fail just to prove his 'Bazball' wrong. Kudos also to the management of the ECB and in particular Robert Key for making the bold call.

[@vanderer_prashant]

You are English, aren't you? 😂

[@ghostofkenny]

This is the kind of nauseatingly sycophantic rhetoric that makes people root against 'Bazball'.

[@storm_yu]

Time will tell. He has no significant record as a captain of newzealand.

[@keethopanthangarasa6813]

Great appointment as head coach 🔥

[@mattinterweb]

Great interview. Love the ride with McCullum so far, and its been good to see England start to assess situations better and use some lower gears this year. We could have something special developing beyond just feel good cricket.

[@shravanaragula4877]

People played like him before loke sehwag gilly sir viv but this man made that stule a group effirt what a beast

[@himabratadas1577]

An eternal optimist❤

[@shortnfo]

McCullum as England coach still has to prove a lot His team lost poorly in India He has ashes in Australia which is probably the biggest assignment.

[@sumbdi]

With the current squad of england and the way they have performed against SL don't see them even competing against Aussies.

[@darkraider0477]

I don't see England winning the Ashes in 2025/26....they do not have the bowling attack to compete on flat Australian decks....It will only be slightly better than the usual Ashes drubbing they face in Australia

[@sajadkhan-yousafzai]

The man behind changing test cricket,the fearless Baz GOAT .

[@allydign2749]

Baz said it himself (albeit about Jimmy); sometimes it’s not what you say, but how you say it….obvious to me that he will quickly move Buttler on as captain.

[@atharvaapte1393]

In 2015 WC, Brendon scored 77 (25) against England. Back then, no one would have thought he would become their all-format coach one day.

Is King Charles allowed knighting Kiwis? Cos this man must be close. I bet our King loves cricket. haha

Yes the King can

Sir Richard Hadlee is a person!

Believe so, as New Zealand are a member of the Commonwealth. Charles is still their monarch.

[@KrisAdamsTV]

lol @ "Sir Richard Hadlee is a person!"... I most certainly was not trying to insult any previous Knights. I just didn't know if it was a thing. haha

Baz the man

[@AndrewCrichton-j7s]

Yes your right, I hope they win ashes next winter, Its a young bowling attack only in low 80 mph, I fear for them on oz.

Wins against 2nd class test nations, cuffed in India, didn't win the ashes at home pretty poor I would say. Give Andy flower the test coach job and try and do something in limited overs cricket with him, keep him employed 😅

@@snehalkhatri9357who is you’re top 3 then?

[@srivallabhsampathkumar5496]

It's easy to "entertain" if the result doesn't matter. Anybody could do that. History will mark him as mediocre unless results start to turn around in series that matter. Smashed in India, barely managed to hold on in the home Ashes. In 15 months, he will have his judgement test. And with this attitude that keeps results immaterial, it doesn't look hopeful.

Need to take gloves off joss, let him bat and captain, too much I think doing all three?

Looks like a rugby player. Beat up smashed up dude. If the cards had landed differently he could have challenged Dan Carter as all black fly half

Looking at some of your other comments dude, you seem negative about everything 😂 There's a reason he's liked by virtually the whole cricketing world and it's not because he's a man of bad character I'm sure 😅
