What ails English cricket?
In the Guardian, Duncan Fletcher discusses England's chances at the ICC World Twenty20, and what keeps the nation from reaching great heights.
I'm not writing off the chances of the current side, because they are playing with a lot of confidence at the moment after beating West Indies in all forms of the game over the last month. But I always felt English cricketers were not encouraged to improve their one-day skills by a system that simply presents them with another chance as soon as the previous one has passed.
In the Independent, Stephen Brenkley thinks England will do well to reach the semi-finals.
