Former England cricketer Geoffrey Boycott has slammed the England cricket team batters, labelling them "flat track bullies", as they slumped to a 2-1 series defeat against Pakistan. After winning the first Test in Multan, England lost the second and third Test, exposing a glaring weakness against spin bowling. All 40 English wickets across the second and third Tests were taken by spinners, with Sajid Khan and Noman Ali combining for a total of 39 wickets. Boycott sharply criticised the England batting, and the aggressive 'Bazball' approach of batting implemented by coach Brendon McCullum.
