I think most people here would agree a lot of teams have made some bad selection and tactical decisions for this World Cup, so are there any teams you think have got it right?
Hi, it’s not a question about current events, but I’m interested what you think. England have been retaining several young players with varying CC batting records around the Test squad saying their batting will develop (e.g. Crawley, Bracey, Lawrence and S Curran). Do you expect players to develop better on the fringes of the Test squad rather than being given time with their counties? Is this just because there has been no Lions tours? Also, which of these do you think is most likely to have a decent Test career?
You may not be able to answer this one, but how much did Faulkner's performance in the UAE leg of the PSL weigh into the decision to get him for the Tigers franchise in the T10 league? Were there any other factors?
Your thoughts on the inclusion of two new teams in the ipl and what type of foreign players would you go for if you was part of the recruitment team for the new franchise given the supposed 90 crore budget which is on hand.
Hi Dan, thanks for all the great content you put out. We’ve seen you say a lot that teams often recruit batters with a good reputation perhaps in other formats or in past t20 cricket but don’t show enough intent in the current game. I’m interested as to what proportion of batters you think don’t show this intent out of choice (rather than simply not being technically good enough to bat at 140+) around the world. As an example, we could compare KL Rahul’s 2018 IPL with his 2019 and 2020 versions to see a batter who is capable but perhaps reins himself in - he has ‘intent potential’. Do you take ‘intent potential’ into your recruitment on the proviso that that batter would be given clear instructions by you and the coaches to show intent? Or would you only ever recruit batters that have the raw numbers to prove that they can bat quickly enough? Hope this makes sense and many thanks.
Hi Dan, any theories on whether teams should mix up their openers depending on what they deem to be a bar score if batting first/what target they’re chasing? I know you mentioned Babar and Rizwan as the masters of the lowish chase, so is the inverse worth it to get high SR players in during the Powerplay to reach a higher bar?
Which team Pakistan would find tough to win against in the semi final?
If someone gave you odds of 2/1 for heads on a coin toss, how many times would you pick tails before you realise you are getting it wrong?

Hi, a big fan of your work...a simple question but something that might be a fair bit of work.
Batter performance against pace... for example a divide between 140+ vs below 140.
We generally have numbers that show pace vs spin but not a division between high pace and medium pace.
I am specifically interested in the call Pakistan are making between Haider Ali and Shoaib Malik...
Thanks
How does england properly balance their xi for the ashes tests?
