Will the New Zealand brand of cricket succeed in Australia?

Swing will give the visitors' bowlers the edge but bouncy pitches might thwart their aggressive style of batting

Bad pitches make bad Tests

If a surface doesn't encourage a result, it's not worth playing on again

18-Oct-2015•Ian Chappell

Hard to make 'em like Thommo and Typhoon

Though the game has had many quality fast bowlers, none have been quite as lethal as Jeff Thomson and Frank Tyson

04-Oct-2015•Ian Chappell

Kohli and Smith lead the way as next-gen Test captains

While the Indian captain has been the more aggressive, both understand their bowlers and are seeking to improve their young teams

20-Sep-2015•Ian Chappell

Why wouldn't you bat at No. 3?

Batting one-drop lets you establish the pattern of play. Steven Smith should ignore anyone who says he should move down the order now that he's captain

06-Sep-2015•Ian Chappell

Clarke second only to Taylor as captain

He was proactive and tactically aware, making it clear to both the opposition and his own team that he was seeking victory from ball one

23-Aug-2015•Ian Chappell

Australia's failure has revolved around Clarke's struggle

He hasn't been watching the ball out of the hand well enough, and moving to No. 5 was a mistake as well

Decision on No. 3 emblematic of England's problems

The mauling at Lord's means once again England are being reactive in terms of who bats at one-drop. It also means they are likely to shed their new-found aggression

26-Jul-2015•Ian Chappell

Get Root higher up at No. 3

England should look to make the most of his potential because unlike Gary Ballance, he does not get bogged down against pace or spin

12-Jul-2015•Ian Chappell

Pace is gonna get you

Despite England's recent surge, Australia will likely prevail in the Ashes thanks to their lethal pace attack, which is suited to all types of pitches

28-Jun-2015•Ian Chappell

Australia should blood 'em young

It's time to start investing in younger batsmen capable of succeeding at Test level instead of turning to ageing players who are bound to have a short shelf life

14-Jun-2015•Ian Chappell

It's the captain who wins games, not the coach

Placing too much emphasis on the coach's input is detrimental because it curbs the captain's ability to think for himself and make bold decisions

Is Cook next in line to bite the dust?

England are now in a situation where a change of captaincy in the middle of the Ashes series seems probable

17-May-2015•Ian Chappell

Many sides to a cricket revolution

While an administrative shake-up of the ICC would be welcome, the Essel Group's past cricketing ventures hardly inspire confidence

03-May-2015•Ian Chappell

Three questions for cricket

Do fast bowlers need verbal fisticuffs to generate aggression? Does sending a nightwatchman in always make sense? Is surpassing 100mph even possible?

19-Apr-2015•Ian Chappell

Gimmicks don't win you ODIs, wickets do

As long as ODIs are governed by stifling regulations, only imaginative captaincy can keep the format from being hopelessly dull

05-Apr-2015•Ian Chappell

Rohit, Mohit, and India's resurgence

India have turned their fortunes in Australia around during the World Cup because their captain has become proactive, encouraging his bowlers to attack

22-Mar-2015•Ian Chappell

India blossom under Dhoni the ODI captain

In contrast to his Test avatar, in limited-overs cricket, Dhoni's leadership is aggressive, inspirational and pragmatic

08-Mar-2015•Ian Chappell

How about a World Cup summit?

The major stakeholders of the game coming together at the global event makes this the best time to sit down and discuss the direction cricket should take

22-Feb-2015•Ian Chappell

The bigger they come, the more they hurt

It's time to restrict the thickness of bats to prevent injuries to bowlers and umpires, and mis-hit boundaries
