What did Jason Gillespie say about England's play style in Tests?

Gillespie claimed that he does not like the term 'Bazball' which is widely used to describe England's aggressive style of approaching Test cricket and revealed his team will approach the series to tackle the in-form English side.

"It’s very clear how England approaches their cricket. I don’t particularly like the term “Bazball,” but they do play aggressive cricket. We’ve seen them evolve their game and that’s how they want to play. We will play our way, striving to be a consistent and disciplined team that hangs in there and strikes at the right moment to drive the game forward and exploit gaps. That’s our strategy," Gillespie stated on a podcast.

What did Gillespie say about crowd criticism towards Pakistan?

Speaking on the criticism of the Pakistan cricket team, the Aussie added, "A lot of people are writing us off, and that’s okay - that’s fine. It will only motivate our boys a little bit more. We’ll go out and do our jobs as best we can, and hopefully, the results will take care of themselves."
