  1. There is an option of adding CHAPTERS

    when you upload the video , that chapters helps you put the content time at which you are discussing something like

    Example :

    5: 30 you are discussing worldcup squads

    23: 21 you are discussing Jay shah

    like this you can use it , so that viewers can directly jump on that timestamp when topic about their interest is discussed.

    Try it once.

    REGARDS,

    JOHN

    • I will try to remember to give this a try at some point. (It probably won’t be the next couple of weeks though, because we’ll be in Ireland and probably extremely stressed!!)

  2. Hi – I’m pretty new to following cricket( almost entirely the women) so I love listening to you guys to help explain everything. I’m a bit of an addict now and have had immense enjoyment watching as many matches as I can – I mean how long should I really be sitting on that sofa!
    Anyhow thinking ahead to the T20 World Cup – I have heard lots of discussion about the bowlers we are taking and whether there are too many spinners – but I haven’t heard much about the batters. I have just seen on the ICC batting rankings that Englands top batter is Nat Sciver Brunt and she comes in at number 18 . Alarm bells are ringing for me there but I don’t really understand the ranking system and I’m just wondering how much of a concern that is.

    • England definitely have concerns over their batting, but any ranking system that has Sciver-Brunt ranked 18 (and Ellyse Perry 23rd, Richa Ghosh at 24 and Deepti Sharma at 33) isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. Fundamentally rankings for T20 are tricky because of the balance of average and strike rate is very nuanced and because there is limited data. Sciver-Brunt is the #1 ranked ODI batter which seems much more reasonable.
