Q: I’m on the committee of our cricket club and we find it difficult to get everyone involved. It always feels as though it’s the same two or three people doing the work to make sure the club functions. We’d like to get some advice or ideas on how other clubs structure their committees and share the workload?
A: Narrabri DCA run a great system with their juniors where they have 3 year cycles on their committee. Brings new parents and volunteers in and spreads the workload across new volunteers who are looking to engage with the association

Q: Is it okay for a cricket coach who coaches players privately to be allowed to coach or be a selector in a state pathways system or a cricket club's underage representative team?
A: Nothing wrong with it. As long as there is other coaches there selecting as well to prevent any conceived bias.

In the country, coaches are pretty scarce, so private coaches double up as selectors and zone academy coaches.

Q: Who is the player you'd consider the most influential player in the Australian Men's Test cricket team from 2000 to 2009?
A: Ricky Ponting. Led a champion team for some time and scored a mountain of runs. Allowed other great players of that era to dominate off the back of his performances

Q: One of the key ingredients in the art of captaincy is to ask questions and challenge the opposing captain and team into doing things they otherwise wouldn’t normally do.

The Ashes series between Australia and England is two days into the 4th test, and I’ve been fascinated by how Ben Stokes, as England captain, has got into the minds of Australia.

Forget Bazball, it’s Ben Stokes.

Australia is playing unrecognisable Australian cricket.

A: Unwatchable cricket last night from an Australian perspective.

Q: Peter Doig is arguably the most prominent artist to capture a cricket scene in oil or watercolour. Jack Russell perhaps the most talented cricketer to handle a paintbrush. And Michael Vaughan also dabbled. Are there any other cricketers or artists who have captured cricket scenes to a high standard? Here is Caroline Zimmermann with an oil painting of Fives and Heronians Cricket Club. 'The Paddock'.
