Baz and the red-ball revolution

Cut to 2015 ODI World Cup and here was Brendon McCullum, nicknamed Baz, who was hell-bent on bringing about another change. For the then captain of the New Zealand team, every ball was an opportunity to score and playing only for survival was not an option — the birth of Baz Ball as we call it today. New Zealand won a few matches that way, but when McCullum himself perished in the first over of the final, playing an attacking heave that led to a tame loss, one felt the best batsman in the team could have given himself a bit more time.
