Bazball can lift mood of the nation, says England legend Gower
David Gower is backing Bazball to emulate the impact of the 2005 and 1981 Ashes and lift the mood of the nation if England can regain the urn this summer. The most hotly-anticipated series for some time got underway at Edgbaston on Friday, with Ben Stokes' and Brendon McCullum's bold new side looking to win the Ashes back for the first time since 2017. Ad Pat Cummins' Australia dominated the last series Down Under but England have been on a transformative journey since then under the new leadership of captain Stokes and coach McCullum.
