Former Australia captain

Test cricket needs more matches like Edgbaston

This game had most of the ingredients that show five-dayers in the best light

The way to ensure your team is competitive in Test cricket is to have players who have the technique and ability to succeed in all conditions

India could beat this England side in England

England's top-order batting is dicey and their pace attack lacks variety

The IPL has made Indian cricket not only richer but better

The players are more confident and there's much more competition for places in the national team than before

Why India are short-sighted to refuse to play a day-night Test in Adelaide

What we'll miss about Channel Nine

The passing of the cricket rights marks the end of a storied era of broadcasting

Cricket Australia and the ICC have to take some blame for poor player behaviour

They have consistently failed to halt the slide in on-field behaviour that has increasingly undermined the game's image

Stiff penalties for all the culprits involved might change the outlook

Where's the blueprint for cricket's future?

Lucrative T20 contracts, Kolpak-triggered retirements, the BCCI's two power centres - all these are affecting the game but not decisively moving it forward in any one direction

Kuldeep and Chahal hunt like the Tiger and the Fox

India's young wristspinners are reminiscent of the Aussie duo of Bill O' Reilly and Clarrie Grimmett. Will they enjoy success in Australia, like they did in South Africa?

Joe Root, you've got to listen to Dawid Malan

The England captain repeatedly turns to Broad and Anderson for advice, but it's the aggressive mindset of a newbie that will serve him better

Day-night Tests present teams with selection opportunities

The chance to bowl a session under lights could prompt teams to pack their line-ups with more firepower

10-Dec-2017•Ian Chappell

Gabba Test shows why pitches must favour bowlers more

The pitch for the first Test is a great illustration of why the best Test matches are played on surfaces that give some encouragement to the bowlers.

The lead-up to the current Ashes tour is alarmingly like the one of 15 years ago
