Opinions on cricket: There needs to be, as soon as possible, an agreed, generic, basic conditioning programme developed for fast bowlers as at present many fitness coaches tell you completely different things!

Not sure about the neccasity of the Pro 40 competition as no international matches are played over 40 overs. This could contribute towards solving the issue of players playing too many matches.
