Former Australia captain

The misery that is Michael Clarke

Clarke needs a long innings in the first-class format but captaincy worries and the World Cup prevent him from concentrating on his batting

Why Aussie fans are cheering for England

Because the olde enemy could help their side make it to the World Test Championship

Ponting's captaincy is over, Australia's turmoil isn't

Ricky Ponting was often a good captain, sometimes one who tried too hard. He can still play on as a batsman, though

Ponting's captaincy is hurting Australia

He's trying too hard to prove he's worthy. When he quits, Haddin might be Australia's best option as a stop-gap leader

North's form has gone south

As has Clarke's. But there's still hope for Australia, thanks to Haddin, Hussey and Watson. If only their bowling attack had a leader

A predictor's nightmare

England's iffy batting, Johnson's dodgy bowling, the damp start to the season, and Australia's injury concerns all make the expert's job harder ahead of the Ashes

The Pujara and Johnson conundrums

India have a dilemma about their No. 3 spot and Australia on how best to use their strike bowler

07-Nov-2010•Ian Chappell

When in India, don't just rely on spin

If you're a visiting captain, pick a variety of quality bowlers - fast and slow. And if you're a batsman up against slow bowlers, watch the ball closely and use your feet

Thrill-a-minute

There was never a dull moment when these men took the field

15-Oct-2010•Ian Chappell

The magic of VVS

Laxman has hand-eye coordination that is the envy of surgeons, a competitive drive that his opposition dreads, and the kind of nous good captains need

10-Oct-2010•Ian Chappell

Uncertainty keeps the rivalry thriving

Sehwag holds the key to India's chances against Australia. Much will also depend on Zaheer and Johnson

26-Sep-2010•Ian Chappell

Save the game or lose it

If the powers that be don't take steps to eradicate fixing, we won't have a game to protect

Captaincy must-haves: imagination and premonition

Australia's series against India and England could reveal which of Strauss, Dhoni and Ponting is best

The three S's of Sehwag

The Indian opener is up there with Bradman in his ability to score quickly for prolonged periods of time

Many challengers, no leader

Having a situation where the top teams are evenly matched is mouth-watering but not if it's only because each of them is inconsistent

UDRS: Use it or lose it

The ICC needs to find a way to use reviews in all matches, and if that's not possible, the system needs to be junked

Ponting's Ashes kryptonite

It might seem a wild suggestion, but just like Jardine used Larwood against Bradman, Strauss could consider bringing back Flintoff for a couple of Ashes Tests

04-Jul-2010•Ian Chappell

Don't change the rules, play better

A two-innings format is not going to make one-day cricket more attractive. What it needs is more imaginative captaincy and less gimmicks

20-Jun-2010•Ian Chappell

Why make players choose between formats?

What are the motivations behind two contrasting proposals by Cricket Australia and the BCCI?

Keep it short for the Yanks

If the game is ever to take off in America, Twenty20 is most likely the way to go
