Former Australia captain

Good on David Warner for telling Cricket Australia where to get off

The Australian board is operating from a position where all it is looking to do is protect itself

It's time to restrict Test cricket to the countries with the infrastructure for it

A strong first-class system is the foundation of a healthy Test nation, and not every country can afford to invest heavily in one for relatively limited returns

Stokes the Test captain could learn much from England's T20 World Cup campaign

As a batter, his knock in the final should convince him that at times he needs to bat with a little more caution in the longer format

This World Cup has belonged to the teams with the best bowling attacks

Where sides have stumbled, it has been on selection

Expect usual favourites to go far in the World Cup, but brace for upsets

Australia, England, Pakistan and India have the talent to make the semi-finals, but as West Indies and Sri Lanka have shown, unpredictability is always a factor

Best batter since 2019? Hard to look past the usual suspects

Root, Smith, Kohli, Williamson, Babar, Labuschagne are all in the mix, despite a few of those players having hit rough patches

Australia's system produces good captains, but you can't say the same about England

Pat Cummins is an example of the former. For England, Stokes apart, the lack of candidates makes it a lottery

We need a debate on cricket's future and we needed it yesterday

The future of the game is in the hands of younger players, but they need to balance future decisions with an eye on the past

Captains should be suspended if their teams can't bowl 90 overs a day

Over rates are a massive problem in the game, even after all these years. And so are issues with the DRS

17-Jul-2022•Ian Chappell

It's no surprise that Stokes and Cummins have succeeded as captains

For one, they understand bowling, which is key for decision-makers on the field

03-Jul-2022•Ian Chappell

Cricket's administrators seem bent on pushing Test cricket to the margins

There still is appetite among fans and players for the thrills and nuances of the five-day game but the decision-makers are only guided by financial prospects

England's bowlers need to ditch containment for attack

Ben Stokes needs to focus on his line-up's wicket-taking capability

Let us now praise the great fielders

Down the years, the top teams have had many agile, quick practitioners of the art

India have the IPL to thank for their formidable international depth

The country has for long had the potential; with the IPL, it has been translated into performance

If Ben Stokes is not interested in the Test captaincy, then England are in big trouble

From appointing a strong captain to picking and nurturing a viable XI, the challenges facing the ECB are many, and it isn't moving fast enough

Australia's dominance in women's cricket is no fluke

The way the women's game has developed in the country is a lesson for the rest of the world

09-Apr-2022•Ian Chappell

Cummins has done superbly, but India will be his real test

Australia's captain led them to a landmark win in Pakistan. Their bowling has some question marks over it, though
