That eccentric summer of '75

Looking back to the first streaker at Lord's, and perhaps the first high-profile incident of pitch vandalism

Why close-catching standards have dropped

Technique and anticipation are important for close-in fielding. Many of today's fielders lack both

24-Jul-2016•Ian Chappell

Why not reduce bat sizes across all formats?

Asking for restrictions on bat dimensions in Tests is a start, but there needs to be more support for extending the change to limited-overs cricket as well

Why Kumble could work out better for India than Greg Chappell did

He understands the Indian mentality better and doesn't have to deal with star players on the wane

26-Jun-2016•Ian Chappell

Day-night Test cricket makes sense

If players can adapt quickly to the pink ball, it will ensure more competitive cricket, which will guarantee bigger crowds

Cricket writers who inspired me

The likes of Wooldridge, Benaud, Cozier and Gray were fine company and great to read and listen to

Why captains should be mentored early

Former captains would do well to offer advice to young leaders of age-group teams to prepare them for bigger challenges at the highest level

15-May-2016•Ian Chappell

Give first-class cricket its due

For struggling Test teams to get better, they need to strengthen their domestic cricket and ensure their best players aren't lost to T20

What T20 cricket can learn from baseball

Bringing back fences could help even up the contest between bat and ball, and ensure that all sixes are genuine

17-Apr-2016•Ian Chappell

Deviation a bowler's best weapon

With so little margin for error, especially in T20 cricket, any movement - on the air, off the pitch - is vital in giving the bowler a chance

03-Apr-2016•Ian Chappell

Sharper India back on track

Their crushing defeat to New Zealand was a jolt they needed to refocus, and against Pakistan they played like tournament favourites

20-Mar-2016•Ian Chappell

Six-hitting ability important to World T20 success

The flat pitches in India will favour those who consistently clear the ropes. The hosts are favourites, but Australia, England and South Africa can challenge them

06-Mar-2016•Ian Chappell

Bring back the back-foot no-ball law

Given how front-foot line calls are tougher than they look, this change would allow the umpire more time to focus on decisions after the ball is delivered

21-Feb-2016•Ian Chappell

Kohli's and Rohit's divergent paths to batting glory

One has found great success in limited-overs formats, while the other is a master of all

07-Feb-2016•Ian Chappell

The dangers of overstaying your time as captain

When a once-strong leader falls short of ideas, it tends to have a negative effect on the team. MS Dhoni is going through such a phase

Steven Smith v MS Dhoni

A young turk on his own turf will battle a canny old warrior

10-Jan-2016•Ian Chappell

What's the next generation of batsmen learning?

What's the priority of young batsmen today? Power-hitting or solid defence? And are they being over-coached?

27-Dec-2015•Ian Chappell

What's a good pitch?

One that gives batsmen and bowlers equal opportunity to succeed. Delhi and Adelaide did that

13-Dec-2015•Ian Chappell

Test cricket needs to hurry it up

Introducing tweaks like four-day games will be pointless unless players and officials show more urgency to keep the game moving

29-Nov-2015•Ian Chappell

Serious flaws in DRS indicate need for overhaul

Players gamble on reviews as a tactic, which negates the system's essential purpose - of eliminating howlers. And then there's the issue of who controls it
