Kohli and Warner prove T20's got class

The two have shown the format is no longer a hit-and-giggle fest. We can look forward to seeing them face each other in longer versions of the game

The Champions League is split wide open

It's hard to pick a favourite for the tournament, because for the first time in a long time bowlers have been given a fair chance to attack in the Twenty20 format

Michael Hussey, role model

He's got the shots, and he can grind when needed. Cricket needs more old-school batsmen like him, not the Suresh Rainas, bred on Twenty20

The international game needs an overhaul

Australia's review has been window-dressing, and India are unlikely to have one at all, but international cricket as a whole needs thinking about, if it's not to be reduced to just Twenty20

Have India lost the Australia series already?

India have problems in every department, and it doesn't look like they'll be able to fix them in time for their year-end tour

How have India remained No. 1 this long?

The credit goes to MS Dhoni, who has shrewdly managed with a thin attack, but leaving England with their top billing intact is the team's biggest challenge

Sehwag's absence will hurt India

Without him they will have to be cautious against England's swing bowlers. But even so the series, with its several mini-contests and the No. 1 ranking at stake, is expected to be a mouth-watering one

Who's the ICC fooling?

It's laughable that cricket's global body asks its member boards to democratise when it is itself politically manipulated by the BCCI to make confusing compromises

India's riches, Australia's need

Warne makes the game interesting for his players

As captain, he makes every ball worth watching. He empowers his players and makes them want to contribute to the team every time

How do you determine the value of a player?

It won't be long before IPL franchisees figure out a formula to calculate the true worth of players

Dhoni's among the great modern captains

India's captain has taken his side to the top without a great bowling attack, which makes his achievement more remarkable

Ponting's time is up

If he quits the captaincy now, he'll be remembered as a beaten and bloodied warrior who refused to bow down. Also, it's just the right time for Clarke to fill his shoes

Australia need a workout

It's been all too smooth sailing for Ponting's men so far. They need a tough match against Pakistan
