There are bigger issues in cricket than how long the premier format should be. Scheduling is near the top of the list

A video highlights clip of the final day of the Barbados Test came to light recently. Is this a good thing?

Here's why it's sanctimonious, overweening, and a problem for Australia themselves

The board now acts almost like the revelations of corruption that came out about two decades ago never happened

A lot of it is down to rarity - the fact that there are, and have been, so few in the game

They boost the tail and offer valuable support to the overburdened bowling attack without breaking the Misbah Rule

Looking at the data - and even elsewhere - the answer would seem to be no

If there's a problem with the Australian team's culture, Steve Waugh is as much to blame as any of the current players

It has been his fate to be seen as someone forever on the margins, but he has been everything quick bowling should be

The Misbah years were certainly not about it, but that quality, ineffably linked to Pakistan cricket, might be making a comeback

Once the bright young hope of Pakistan batting, he is now no more than an irrelevance

The pairing of legspinner and keeper is unlike any other in cricket, and full of rich and complex dynamics

It refuses to let India play Pakistan there, but hasn't been forthcoming with reasons why

It's a bowling partnership not peculiar to Pakistan but highly identifiable with the country

Along with his son Bazid, the former Pakistan batsman has come up with a proposal - though hardly the first - to decentralise domestic cricket in the country

Hardly: bowling actions, and the circumstances of the job, make it difficult for the umpire to detect whether the bowler has overstepped

After years of skipped heartbeats and sweaty palms, just how does one reconcile with a nerveless Pakistan as they waltz through a tall chase?

We say that Tests reveal mettle; if you play 100, you must be some man. When it comes to Younis, that doesn't tell half the story

Pakistan's six-year isolation has impacted players, administrators and fans - often in ways hard to quantify. Zimbabwe's visit is a significant and small first step towards a recovery

Off the field, he's all flash and hair gel; on it, he's a slowpoke, given to hitting pretty shots straight to fielders
