Running off at the bat
One reason we at Inside Cricket have a regular column by Ian Chappell is not just because he has a reputation for being “straight talking”.

Why Smith is, and should remain, captain
Steve Smith is, and always has been, the man to lead Australia. Yesterday’s ODI match against New Zealand was as good an argument as we’ll get as to why.

The Deano Manifesto
We might not agree with everything Dean Jones says, but today’s comments about Australian cricket are the most insightful we’ve heard for a while.

Complacency or denial?
What it is that surprises a person often says a lot about their mentality, so here’s a little of mine: I’ve been surprised lately at the sheer scope and intensity of everybody’s surprise.

The blame game
It’s amazing how people declare Test cricket dead on the one hand, and on the other, get so outraged when Australia’s teams perform badly. The recent pronunciations of ex-Test cricketers that Test cricket is shuffling off this mortal coil are being taken seriously.

In a brilliant analysis of Australia’s spin-bowling prospects in the upcoming Inside Cricket, Jason Krejza talks about the selectorial treatment of spinners in Australia, especially Nathan Lyon.

Putting Pup in his place...
What is it about Michael Clarke that polarises people? He’s a narcissist, people say, and besides, he lost two Ashes series in England. There’s no doubt his cricketing career – as player and captain – had more light and shade than most. And that’s because the personal was never far away.

How's this for openers?
I agree with Steve Waugh that Cameron Bancroft might be a good selection for the opening position this summer, especially in the medium to long-term.
