Looking back over the years, you have imranball for the 92 World Cup tigers
Lloydball for the West Indies era
Waughball for the Aussies
Tenball for sachins era
It’s just the media trying to be cool and hip
Please, none of those terms were a thing because their teams did not play radically different. The closest would be the West Indians under Lloyd playing aggressive cricket but their bowling aspect of bouncing out teams with pacers and having them execute pinpoint yorkers was a thing even before Lloyd made his debut. Similarly Waugh’s hard-nosed Aussie team that you could say played on the edge was inherited from Border and Simpson’s times.
Tenball can be more accurately called the Fixeruddin era.

If anything you’re proving the point, none of those terms existed for one and none of them are associated with their side’s coach. This is absolutely Baz’s MO, it was the same for his brief stint at KKR where everything they did was supposed to be funky and because Baz was at the wheel. Likewise the Kiwis becoming nice guys and playing ultra aggressive cricket was all down to Baz. He’s made an entire career out of spinning the media wheel with revolutionary ideas and he revels in the spotlight that is inevitably created too.
