What England have learned from the Ashes

Eleven things the series has brought to light about Cook and Co

27-Aug-2015•Simon Barnes

Where's the love for Clarke?

Far too many people - Australians mostly - have had and still have reservations about him

19-Aug-2015•Simon Barnes

The incidental redemption of Cook and England

They have stumbled upon an attacking and youthful brand of cricket, which we should savour while it lasts

13-Aug-2015•Simon Barnes

A shifty little thing called momentum

How much truth is there in the notion that it rests with the team fresh off a victory?

01-Aug-2015•Simon Barnes

England's chances hinge on Clarke

There's currency in the idea that a captain's failure with the bat dulls his decision-making powers and creates a destructive atmosphere in the dressing room

27-Jul-2015•Simon Barnes

The art of losing

To be a great winner, you need to have lost greatly first. Australia have shown how to respond to defeat; can crushed England follow suit?

20-Jul-2015•Simon Barnes

More than a win for England

There's almost a moral dimension to the Cardiff victory: it feels as if England have left a great pile of stinking bad things behind them

13-Jul-2015•Simon Barnes

Strauss takes on the KP 'ishoo'

England cricket has become a subplot in the Kevin Pietersen Story and even Andrew Strauss' firm decision on his future may not change things

12-May-2015•Simon Barnes

Attack breathes new life into the ODI

The World Cup showed us that the format doesn't have to be dreary. That bowling sides can be as innovative and aggressive as batting sides

31-Mar-2015•Simon Barnes

What Jana Novotna means for South Africa

Why the Czech tennis player can be a lesson to AB de Villiers and his boys

17-Mar-2015•Simon Barnes

The curse of KP

That England can't play one-day cricket very well is old news; the real problem is that right now they can't play any kind of cricket

10-Mar-2015•Simon Barnes

New Zealand's Rottweiler bite

Their hyper-aggressive ways have got them success in the World Cup so far. But is the method as sustainable as it is eye-catching?

02-Mar-2015•Simon Barnes

Happy to be upset

Unexpected results are bound to occur in long, unwieldy tournaments like the World Cup, and we should enjoy them

24-Feb-2015•Simon Barnes

Will Afghanistan move from promise to fulfilment?

Their rise has been remarkable, and their first World Cup game is an absolute must-win for them

17-Feb-2015•Simon Barnes

The mystery of the sporting rivalry

When India meet Pakistan and England take on Australia, despite all the complex historical baggage, on the field all they are doing is playing

13-Feb-2015•Simon Barnes

Quality is what counts in T20 debate

Any debate in English cricket between the modernisers and traditionalists about the future of T20 should come down to one simple fact: the quality of the sport

13-Jan-2015•Simon Barnes

Cook and the question of loyalty in sport

He served the purpose of being the hero to Pietersen's antihero, but given his appalling one-day form, is it time to be disloyal and get rid of him?

16-Dec-2014•Simon Barnes

Every innings is an act of courage

His death reminds us that sport is dangerous, and that the pursuit of sporting excellence calls on large reserves of courage - such as he possessed

28-Nov-2014•Simon Barnes

Has international cricket begun to break up?

The gap between the haves and the have-nots is growing wider, and the disenchantment is forcing a devaluation of Test cricket among weaker teams

25-Oct-2014•Simon Barnes

Who needs a litany of Pietersen's complaints?

His cricket gets hardly a mention in his new book. And isn't the cricket the point of Kevin Pietersen?
