One thing I've noticed in the modern game is that you don't seem to get quite as many good cricket brains as you used to. People like Atherton, Hussain, Brearley and maybe even Vaughn, who can dissect what's going on in the field and be ahead of the play or to know how to deal with situations as they arise. Going back further there were people like Ray Illingworth and Tony Greig. I'm certain this is as a result of the marginalisation of county cricket, as so many of England's problems are.
