FIVE MINUTE FORTNIGHT: The perverse attitude of village cricket; the optimism of the ECB's new strategic plan; India shirking their responsibility to Zimbabwe; and what the investigation into Asad Rauf means to cricket. "The rain got heavier, gale force winds building up - and yet there was an unnatural determination on both sides."

THE DEBATE (46'10 onwards): "Full appreciation of cricket requires knowledge of the game's past" "Where one does have an awareness and appreciation of history, that should be worn lightly."
