Marnus Labuschagne was once the best batter in the world. Now, he's fighting for his international future.

Here, Inside-Edge looks at how Labuschagne found himself in such a perilous position. Link in bio.

The single best piece of cricket in the entire series so far.

Well, that is sensational 👏

In the mid-90s, Australian cricket resembled a sporting utopia. The well-oiled machine was producing world-class players on an unprecedented scale, and the Sheffield Shield was the envy of their rivals.

The production line has, however, stalled in recent years. So, what's changed in Australian cricket? Link in bio.

18 wickets in 74 overs isn't good. The occasional turbocharged Test match is fun, but it's happening far too often around the world.

Test cricket is a five-day game for a reason.

The Leeds Test almost lasted three days and the most memorable moment was a fan spilling his pints in the crowd.

Hopefully Pakistan can show more skill and more resilience at Lord’s, because that was woeful.

Ravindra Jadeja is one of the most underappreciated players in the history of Test cricket.

A batting average of 38, a bowling average of 25 and one of the most athletic fielders ever.

[Inside-Edge @TheInside_Edge]

Cricket faces lots of challenges, but this is fundamentally true.

This year's Hundred has been excellent, as has the One-Day Cup. Bangladesh beating Australia a great story in Test cricket. You're allowed to like them all.

Cameron Green has been tipped as the coming man in Australian cricket for years. But he's now 27, and his place in the team is more uncertain than ever.

What is going on? Link in bio.

The Snicko technology isn't fit for purpose. This has been apparent for some time, but nothing appears to be changing.

"Did you nick that?"
"I think so, yeah."

Pat Cummins has played 72 matches across a 15-year Test career. He's now embarking on 20 Test matches (possibly 21) within 12 months. The schedule is ludicrous.

[Inside-Edge @TheInside_Edge]

Harry Brook is one of the most divisive players of the modern era. A once-in-a-generation talent to some, and a liability to others. Where does the truth lie? Link in bio.

Andrew Flintoff has left his role as England Lions head coach.

Dan Lawrence’s recall is uninspiring.

England intend to bat him at six and use him as their main spin option. But this season, he’s taken nine wickets at 71.33.

Joe Root, for context, has taken eight wickets at 18.25, with a lower economy rate.

England don’t have any standout spin options, but the Lawrence selection feels like a fudge.

Cricket Australia should be paying close attention to the problems with private ownership in The Hundred.

The team rebrands, in particular, have been ham-fisted, and fans are seemingly voting with their feet.

Private investment isn't always a bad thing, but short-term greed shouldn't cloud long-term thinking.

If the Stephen Fleming appointment isn't a success, then that, surely, spells the end of the Rob Key era, too.

Australian cricket has enjoyed a golden era, with the likes of Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood playing key roles in their sustained success.

But are they in danger of being too loyal to their Dad's Army? Link in bio.

Jasprit Bumrah's injury exposes the club versus country muddle.

The world's best bowler has contracts with two teams, both of whom need to prioritise their own ambitions. Bumrah played through the IPL with a niggling injury, and he's now missing games for India.

Priorities need to be clarified, because it's certain to become more common and more contentious in the coming years.

[Inside-Edge @TheInside_Edge]

Hopefully Stephen Fleming will make the World Test Championship (WTC) a priority for his England team.

It’s a deeply flawed system that needs a major overhaul. But England’s attitude towards the WTC stank of arrogance under McCullum and Stokes.

The rebrands of Manchester Super Giants, MI London, and SunRisers Leeds are tacky, lazy, and alienating for local fans.

Multi-club ownership can work. But these are proud cities with their own history and charisma. The team branding ought to reflect that.

[Inside-Edge @TheInside_Edge]

@CaribCricket Hopefully that's the case, then, because the atmosphere at Caribbean grounds back in the day was something else. West Indies fans bring something unique, no doubt.
