Have your say
Should umpires continue to decide when players come off for bad light?
06-Aug-2013
Yes
Players shouldn't have a say in this, since they will exploit the situation to suit themselves.
Should David Warner be playing at No. 6 for Australia?
01-Aug-2013
Yes
Australia's lower middle order is distinctly under-weight following Michael Hussey's retirement. Warner could push the game along with his aggressive play, and is ideally placed to handle the second new ball.
Does Misbah-ul-Haq's strike-rate make him a poor ODI batsman?
26-Jul-2013
Yes
His strike-rate since 2011 is under 70, in an era when lots of batsmen strike in the 90s. The fact that Misbah hasn't been able to convert one of his many fifties into a hundred speaks for itself. Pakistan need better from the most experienced player in an inexperienced line-up.
Is it time to do away with the concept of neutral umpires?
22-Jul-2013
Yes
Neutral umpires made sense when coverage wasn't great and the umpires could have got away with being biased. It now hurts England and Australia who have supplied most of the elite umpires and are left with too few to rotate during the 10 Ashes Tests this year
Will you miss the SLPL?
19-Jul-2013
Yes
A jazzy T20 league with international stars, in tricky Sri Lankan conditions - it could have made for interesting cricket.
Should Stuart Broad have walked?
12-Jul-2013
Yes
It was a blatant nick and everyone in the ground, except Aleem Dar, knew he'd edged it. It wasn't very sportsman-like to stand his ground.
Is it fair for an ODI game to be continued on a reserve day following rain on the first?
08-Jul-2013
Yes
Wash-outs aren't good for the game, and cricket should do everything within its power to ensure results - even if that requires an ODI to be continued on the second day.
Are bilateral series better for ODI cricket than tri-series?
01-Jul-2013
Yes
There are no neutral games in bilateral events, which means all games will be well-attended. Besides, they assume added context when they are part of a full tour that includes a Test series.
Was Champions Trophy 2013 a successful event?
24-Jun-2013
Yes
The eight best teams in the game, in a short, sharp format that made all games relevant, in conditions that evened up the battle between bat and ball - this tournament showcased all that's good about the ODI format.
No
There was too much of rain, and the final - despite the thrilling finish and even contest - was a farce. It wasn't fair that Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and the leading Associate teams weren't given a chance.
Full postIs England's watchful batting at the top the way to go in ODIs?
21-Jun-2013
Yes
With two new balls in play, it's important for teams to ensure they don't lose early wickets. Keeping resources for the end overs is key. Batsmen like Alastair Cook, Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott are perfect for these circumstances.
