Two quick comments from me:

- The 2005 England team at Edgbaston: proto-Bazball?
- According to rumour, in that iconic photo of Flintoff and Lee, Flintoff was actually saying, "That's 1-1, you Aussie bastard"

It's interesting. Vaughan had decided that the way to beat that Australian team was through aggression.

KP and Flintoff in Bazball team? Nice

Given the importance of umpire issues in the article, I feel obligated to mention a series-changing blunder in cricket's cousin sport.

I've only recently learned about the Pine Tar Incident so it's interesting to hear umpires tried to make up for it two years later.
