Jon Hotten

Give us box-set Test cricket, please

Fewer series may help give the format a more meaningful narrative and make it as immersive an experience as the IPL season just past

03-Jun-2016•Jon Hotten

Before you can hit it, you have to think it

The scoop, the sweep and all of the other shots that are now becoming standard in cricket began as acts of imagination, driven by necessity

18-May-2016•Jon Hotten

Does the decision to toss or not affect the pitch?

The further away a match travels from the coin spin, the harder it becomes to find solid evidence of advantage

26-Apr-2016•Jon Hotten

Chris Jordan and the art of delivering under pressure

England's yorker specialist has been front and centre in their World T20 campaign

02-Apr-2016•Jon Hotten

Could Morgan be England's McCullum?

The team's transformation has been dramatic and their captain has been instrumental in bringing it about

15-Mar-2016•Jon Hotten

And so it ends

In cricket, there is often no fairness to the end of a career and the way it comes, just the inevitable knowledge that it will. Which makes McCullum's exit remarkable

24-Feb-2016•Jon Hotten

Chanderpaul's lesson

His career, with its excellence and its quirks, tells us that cricket is big enough to contain everything and everyone

26-Jan-2016•Jon Hotten

Why England could do with Wright and Pietersen in their World T20 mix

Of the survivors of the 2010 final, these two still have plenty to offer

15-Jan-2016•Jon Hotten

Alastair Cook's Christmas wishlist

Wanted: an opening partner, a spinner, and durable fast bowlers to start with

25-Dec-2015•Jon Hotten

Why didn't everyone copy Bradman?

Today unorthodox, self-taught techniques are celebrated and emulated, but the greatest batsman of all had few followers

14-Dec-2015•Jon Hotten

Pink-ball cricket is a mere bulge in Test cricket's fabric

It's too soon to draw conclusions from the Adelaide Test, but going by the game's history, it won't be long before day-night Tests simply become Tests

30-Nov-2015•Jon Hotten

Are batting orders more fluid now?

Players with transferable white-ball skills are no longer as easy to fit into old stereotypes

16-Nov-2015•Jon Hotten

The 3-2-1 scale

How about a measure of excellence that rates players' skills across the international formats?

29-Oct-2015•Jon Hotten

The fastest bowler? It depends

It varies from spell to spell, and it also has to do with the perception of the men facing

12-Oct-2015•Jon Hotten

What is the X-factor in cricket?

It's hard to pin down, particularly in statistics. You could say it's an aesthetic, an impression that what players who have it are doing is innate to them

25-Sep-2015•Jon Hotten

Technology and the amateur cricketer

Having your game dissected can be disconcerting but fun if you're not a serious cricketer. Professionals, though, have no choice but to live with it

09-Sep-2015•Jon Hotten

What will Ian Bell's legacy be?

He always made the difficult look easy and rarely got the recognition his batting deserved. The difficulty of replacing him may determine his worth

26-Aug-2015•Jon Hotten

Should Cook think of quitting now?

Modern captains get only fleeting moments when they can leave the game on their own terms before the pressure is back again

12-Aug-2015•Jon Hotten

Is it time to rethink the toss?

Why not let captains decide what batting or bowling first is worth and use runs to buy the advantage?

31-Jul-2015•Jon Hotten

The pain of the discarded England opener

Facing the new ball acts like a can-opener on a candidate's game and his psyche. Also, failure in the role is harder to deal with than for other players
