South Africa captain Dean Elgar says he does not fear "Bazball" as the Proteas seek to inflict England's first Test defeat of their swashbuckling new era under the leadership of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum.
England fast bowler James Anderson says the team's "incredible" Test revival has left him eager to return to the fray in the upcoming series against South Africa. New Test captain Ben Stokes and red-ball coach Brendon McCullum have revitalised the side with their attacking philosophy since taking charge earlier in the English season.

Since Brendon McCullum took charge as head coach, and Ben Stokes replaced Joe Root as Test captain, England have thrived under the attacking 'Bazball' philosophy in the longest format. After being thrashed by Australia in the Ashes, England clean swept New Zealand 3-0 on home turf, before also beating India in the rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham. The Stokes-led side now face South Africa for a three-match Test series. Ahead of the Test series, South Africa captain Dean Elgar was of the opinion that committing to the 'Bazball' philosophy could leave England looking foolish in the long run.
South Africa great Mike Procter hopes England's "mind-blowing" approach to Test cricket under captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum is a sign of things to come as they prepare to face his native Proteas in a three-match series.
South Africa Test captain Dean Elgar has played down England's new batting approach in the longest format under head coach Brendon McCullum. Elgar's comments came ahead of the three-match Test series between England and South Africa, starting from Wednesday, August 17. Elgar feels that committing to the 'Bazball' philosophy could leave England looking foolish in the long run. Despite terming 'Bazball' interesting, the Proteas Test skipper was not at all worried by the prospect of England batters taking the attack to their bowlers.
