Is the county game failing England's one-day side? Read David Fulton's and Nick Knight's opposing views in The Guardian.

Fulton: "I think that with the C&G, Pro40 and Twenty20 there are too many limited-overs competitions in the English county game. Having three different formats does have an effect on the intensity of the cricket played and on England's one-day side."

Knight: "We play enough high-intensity one-day cricket to produce the quality necessary for the England team and I believe we are not far away from producing results."
