    What do you do with a Freddie Flintoff?

    Absolutely agree, Hoggard's taken the wickets of the Hampshire top 6 for 57 in his first CC innings, so hopefully he'll have caught their attention. I think the selectors should pick the number three on form, either Strauss or Key depending who's playing better. Maybe give Ravi Bopara another...

    If you were born as a cricketer who would you like to be?

    I'm thinking Darren Lehmann at the moment. Pies, beer and fags and still playing international cricket as well as being a domestic legend in both Australia and England must be enjoyable.

    County Championship reform

    I'm not sure about whether Australia does or doesn't spend more per capita on sport than England, but I would be surprised to find out that Australia doesn't spend more per capita on cricket. A lot of schools in England don't play cricket at all, or didn't when I was at school ten years ago. We...

    County Championship reform

    That would be great, but I think the other way round might have more chance of being realised, i.e. one day by amalgamations, four days played by the counties. It would pose less of a 'threat to tradition'. Maybe even start with twenty20!

    That's one of problems with it.

Players who get dropped...

    County Championship reform

    Thanks. I suppose it is just a pipe dream really. And I don't know if I could see my beloved Yorkshire merge with someone else.....Something has to be done though. Even South Australia, who only won one game last year would probably thrash most of the county teams with ease.

    County Championship reform

    I suppose so. But what is to be done?

    County Championship reform

    Thinking about why the current Australian cricket team is far superior to England, I could think of three (kind of interlinked) main reasons; 1.Australia spends more per capita on spotting and developing young sporting talent and spends that money more efficiently. 2.In the population as a...
