Ian Botham on England’s Baseball: The England cricket team is currently seen playing a five-match Test series against India. The series between the two teams is currently tied at 1-1. The third match of the series will be played in Rajkot from 15 February. Under the leadership of coach Brendon McCullum, the England team is seen playing Test cricket in a different style.

England is playing Test cricket aggressively and the team is not afraid of any kind of challenges. Under the captaincy of Ben Stokes, England has won 15 out of 24 Test matches. Seeing this success of England in Test cricket, former veteran player Ian Botham has given a big statement.

Ian Botham’s big statement regarding ‘Baseball’

Regarding ‘Bazball’, Ian Botham says that because of this the fans are showing enthusiasm for Test cricket again. Speaking on SEN Radio, Ian Botham said, ‘You just have to look at the crowd. Crowds have now started coming back to Test cricket. 20-30 years ago, while playing against India in India, the grounds used to be heavy. Suddenly, IPL came and ODI cricket also came and the crowd reduced. People are coming back now and want to watch (baseball).

Ian Botham added: ‘At the end of the day you are the entertainer and if you want people to come to games, you have to entertain. They don’t want to see someone scoring 1.2 runs per hour, you just want to see guys dominating the game. You will lose a game or two here or there, but England have played 15 and won 12. England have now sold out all the games on all five days, which was absolutely unheard of. Test cricket is healthier now than it has been in a long time.

The England cricket team had won the first test match against India by 28 runs. Then in the second test the team made a comeback and won by 106 runs. The third test match between the two is going to be very interesting.
