Selection

The problem with Pakistan's chief selectors

The constant chopping and changing that occurred during the tenures of Moin Khan and Haroon Rasheed has affected Pakistan's ODI fortunes

26-Apr-2016•Ahmer Naqvi

South Africa's weird season

From chopping and changing in selection to the latest fixing scandal, the country's cricket is in for testing times, at least in the immediate future

28-Jan-2016•Luke Alfred

Why England could do with Wright and Pietersen in their World T20 mix

Of the survivors of the 2010 final, these two still have plenty to offer

15-Jan-2016•Jon Hotten

Alastair Cook's Christmas wishlist

Wanted: an opening partner, a spinner, and durable fast bowlers to start with

25-Dec-2015•Jon Hotten

A fast bowler India might have had

Pandurang Salgaoncar silenced a Chepauk crowd by dismissing the likes of Viswanath and Pataudi cheaply in a Duleep game in 1972-73. Strangely it didn't get him an India cap

23-Oct-2015•Sankaran Krishna

Why Australia should pick Steve Magoffin

If the selectors are willing to think out of the box, they could do worse than include the uncapped fast bowler, who has impressive county figures with Sussex

04-Aug-2015•Michael Jeh

Two sides to the Haddin case

For all the emotion tied to his family situation and the depth of his contribution to the Test side, he was seriously out of form with the bat

03-Aug-2015•Russell Jackson

The pain of the discarded England opener

Facing the new ball acts like a can-opener on a candidate's game and his psyche. Also, failure in the role is harder to deal with than for other players

22-Jul-2015•Jon Hotten

A captain a minute

Or that's what it felt like in India at the tail end of the 1950s

02-Jul-2015•V Ramnarayan

Can England find their Steven Smith?

The Australian's success story is a fine example of why a team must stick with a player it believes to be talented

17-Jun-2015•Jon Hotten

Listen to Bedi

The former left-arm spinner's trenchant views on selection, and on the treatment of India's spinners in particular, should not be ignored

02-Jun-2015•V Ramnarayan

Give Chanderpaul his farewell

The batsman has been unceremoniously dropped and the public may never see him play another Test. It might not be too late for the WICB to fix that

28-May-2015•Roger Sawh

Kapila Wijegunawardene: the man who bowled Viv Richards

Kapila Wijegunawardene, Sri Lanka's new chairman of selectors, was an unsung cricketer. Not many know that he bowled Viv Richards and played a key role in Sri Lanka's first ODI win over West Indies

16-Apr-2015•Nirgunan Tiruchelvam

India's one-day selection needs a rethink

The World Cup showed that those picking the side need to focus on the team's weaknesses and be bold enough to replace players who may have come to take their places for granted

02-Apr-2015•V Ramnarayan

India need to be flexible with their bowling

Opening with a spinner and rotating the slower bowlers against specific teams could be a sensible ploy for an attack that is struggling for consistency

19-Feb-2015•Krishna Kumar

Pakistan lost it in the middle of both innings

Their spinners exerted no pressure on India, and their batsmen largely brought about their own downfall

15-Feb-2015•Kamran Abbasi

How effective are left-right batting pairs?

Why it is a myth that left-right batting combinations have an advantage over other batting pairs in ODIs

09-Feb-2015•Kartikeya Date

Sri Lanka in a World Cup funk

For a Sri Lanka fan, the team's losing streak in the New Zealand ODIs is perhaps the equivalent of getting paralysed by poison. Your body is immobile giving the impression that you've died, but inside, you are still very much alive. Screaming.

29-Jan-2015•Damith Samarakoon

Bravo, Pollard numbers don't add up

Although there has been a lot of criticism against Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard's omissions from the West Indies' ODI squad for South Africa and later the World Cup, their recent statistics indicate the axe might be justified

14-Jan-2015•Noel Kalicharan

Pakistan's top-order problems could cost them at the World Cup

The side is unimpressive on paper, and the bowling line-up is spotty too, but Pakistan have always done well with the odds stacked against them
