Nothing against you but bazball is essentially hype created by the players first and then picked up by the media, a good argument that I came across(by jarrod kimber) was, these outlandish comments made by players like chasing 600 etc were not made for the public but for the dressing room of both teams, just to give themselves a false belief that they could do it, and if it does come off once in 10 chances, it's a success.

One thing which is actually quantifiable and not just hype is England has been bowling better than any other team in 3rd innings (barring the ind series, but teams come to die here, nothing out of ordinary), they have figured out a way to pack things up quickly in 3rd innings(even on those flatties in pak) which needs to be studied and not forgotten amidst this bazball chaos.
