After CSK's & MI's success over the years in IPL, should we assume that Captain is the most important factor in T20 team cricket?

And PBKS this year seemed to lack a bit of experience and tactics, what is your opinion and what could this franchise do to improve next year?

Shubman Gill has said he tweaked his technique specifically for death over.

Could you please analyze the change he's talked about? Has that been the reason behind his six-hitting evolution?

Are there any performers from Minor League Cricket / players who aren't the marquee overseas players who can be expected to make a big impact in Major League Cricket? Additionally, just how big is the gap predicted to be in terms of quality of cricket player between Major League Cricket and other franchise leagues?

I've seen people on twitter saying if a batter starts slow and then catches up their strike rate this is still bad. What are your thoughts?

Hi Dan, off topic but do you have a keeper model? Interesting on your view of impact better gloveman has on each format (thinking Bairstow/Foakes)

How do you think counties should be more proactive in protecting (and getting compensated for) players they develop and invest in? Obviously some sort of global transfer system would be ideal but we are years away from that so is there something different you would do in the short term if you were in charge of a club?

Hi Dan,

Whats your view on the Impact player rule in IPL 2023. Has the whole idea of naming your playing XI after the toss has diluted the effectiveness & strategical thinking for selecting the impact players as team conveniently select 6 or more bowlers while bowling first,and replace a bowler with a batter. Interesting to hear out your views.

Thanks

Hi Dan,

From a scouting point of view, how ahead of the rest are Mumbai Indians?

Also, which bowlers do you think are currently flying under the radar that they could maybe look to purchase ahead of the 2024 season?

How many simulations would be needed to find a Sean Abbott 100 from 34 balls?

How does an analyst respond to a scenario like that? Is it just accepted as an outlier from your perspective?

Morning, I'm very curious about the American cricket league - I wonder what type of players we will see there, how the format works, and whether I'd be able to get involved in any way (fantasy league type formats etc.) - I hope this is what you meant by questions... Thanks!
