1. "I felt that the commentators should have been more careful. The very attitude that had so brilliantly transformed the team was now being trashed"

Mike Brearley, England's greatest captain as voted by our readers, says the pundits were too keen to stick the boot into Bazball when England lost the first two Tests.

2. "It is extraordinary and unprecedented what England are doing with the bat. No side in history has batted anywhere near this fast this regularly"

George Dobell explains how the Ashes were won, lost and drawn.

3. "Frustrated with the aggressor role for reasons which took him away from swing, he instead sought better consistency by fixing that wandering front arm"

Derek Pringle pays tribute to Stuart Broad and analyses his career.

4. "Yes, especially in the absence of Stuart Broad. England need his experience, class, skill and nous in those conditions. Yes he has had two or three poor Tests by his own standards, and people will blame his age, but he’s come back before"

Nasser Hussain says James Anderson should be picked by England for the tour to India.

5. "This World Cup is a farewell to the ODI itself, despite it arguably being the best of all formats"

Barney Ronay reflects on Ben Stokes' decision to revoke his ODI retirement.

6. "My first ball to Sunil Gavaskar was short of a length, which disdainfully he pulled onto the top of the shamianas shading the Ladies Stand"

Mike Selvey picks his greatest openers.
