August Mailbag Questions?
Get your questions in!
It’s time to do another mailbag - the last one was really popular and took me a while to get through but I really enjoy answering the various questions which you as readers want to ask!
Feel free to comment below with your questions, and I’ll do a post answering them probably on Sunday this week (in two days time).

Have you noticed a trend in white-ball county cricket recently where shallow batting lineups have seen an increase in output from top order bats?
I'm thinking Middlesex in Blast in recent seasons (Eskinazi), Essex (Westley) and Yorkshire (top 4) in the Royal London One Day Cup this season. They have fielded sides with bowlers batting at 6 downwards, but seemingly had above average output from their top order when doing so. It also feels like the Big Bash has had similar occurrences with Sydney Sixers' recent success.
What could the reasons be? Feels too simplistic for it to be just batsmen taking more responsibility, might also be a small sample size or just coincidental performances, but wondered if you had any view.
Hi Dan,
Do you reckon Chahal is still the best Indian spinner for T20? Or should the likes of Bishnoi / R Chahar be given a fair go?
