Warne's solutions for county cricket

The English season has sprung into life - with Alastair Cook scoring the first century - and next week the County Championship gets underway. One of the biggest draws on the circuit will be Shane Warne, back at Hampshire after ending his Test career, and in his latest column for The Times he puts forward ways the domestic game can improve. As usual he doesn't pull and punches.

After what has gone on this winter, I will be super-angry as well as frustrated should Pietersen be ordered to rest by Fletcher before the first Test against West Indies on May 17. And if that happens, the ECB should overrule him, England coach or not. The board runs the game, raise the money and is entitled to kick up a stink.
