Home advantage needs to go for fairer game...

LIKE Jonny Bairstow (The Cricket Paper February 24), I do think we can win the forthcoming Champions Trophy.

But sadly success or failure in the international game depends so much on the type of pitches prepared. Perhaps, therefore, visiting sides should be allowed to choose whether they bat first or second, to try and remove this home-based advantage. TIM MICKLEBURGH
