The creator of 'Bazball' - England coach Brendon McCullum - has vowed to continue the nation's attacking cricket style despite their first Ashes Test capitulation against Australia.
England only managed 172 and 164 runs in their two innings in Perth - as Australia won by eight wickets despite only making 132 in their first dig,
Despite a steady flow of wickets in England's first innings, they continued to find ways to get themselves out on the way to a final total of 172.
In their second innings, England led Australia by 116 runs with eight wickets in hand then they were 2/76 - but crumbled to only set Australia a target of 205 to win, which was chased down stumps on the second day.

With questions being asked about England's relentless commitment to playing attacking cricket - deemed 'Bazball' by the media - McCullum was adamant there would be no change of approach for the second Test in Brisbane commencing December 4.
“We’ve got some work to do, no doubt, but the one thing that we won’t be changing is our blueprint,” McCullum told the BBC.
“We’ll stay true to that and we’ll stay tight as a team and as we’ve done in the past when we’ve lost games, we’ll keep moving forward and make sure that the confidence levels when we have the next game are as high as possible.
“One of my big beliefs is you got to build that unity, that cohesion, the connectivity and that camaraderie within a team for when you are under the biggest pressure, and the brightest lights, and things haven’t worked out accordingly.
“To me, there is no other way other than to stay together, and keep backing one another, and keep heading towards the target.
“This is a marathon, not a sprint. We’ve had a very bad day today, but we’ve done it before. That’s our blueprint. We’re married to that, and we won’t back down from that over the next four Tests.”
