'Modern batting is about scoring 360 degrees'

Ricky Ponting talks World Cups, 438, the rise of India, and the future of ODIs

Things to expect (and not) from this World Cup

A random list of things that you may or may not see at the 2015 mega event

In the world of the Big Bash

Youngsters are out in force and when they are not playing video games or doing Mexican waves, some are even watching the cricket

Australia have beaten India, but not Kohli

Virat Kohli sledges, he celebrates aggressively, he stares, he gets angry - with his team and the opposition - but at the end of it all he's scored a mountain of runs and refuses to be beaten by Australia

India lacking in Test skills

The amount of T20 cricket India play has left most of their batsmen unable to compile big Test innings and their bowlers unable to produce multiple spells of accurate bowling away from home

Did Australia win the wrong way?

With a 2-0 lead, Australia only had to play risk-free cricket on the fifth day at the MCG to win the series. They achieved victory, but did they take caution too far?

No fear, the Australian tail is here

Since the 2009 Ashes, several poor Australian performances have been masked by their bowlers, who have had to do both their job as well as that of their batsmen

From waterboy to warrior

Ajinkya Rahane was part of India's bench strength for several series before he finally got his opportunity. He's made it count on the most testing tours

Kicking, screaming, scrapping India

India are losing, but they are making Australia win. They are losing, but they are aggressive. They are attacking, until there is nothing left to attack. One shot, one bouncer and one sentence at a time

The evolution of Steven Smith

From someone whom the Australian management and fans didn't really know what to do with, to the captain of his country, Steven Smith has come a long way

Monster Johnson goes missing

Perhaps it is the death of Phillip Hughes, perhaps it is the heat, perhaps it is the absence of Ryan Harris, but Mitchell Johnson is not as scary as he used to be

18-Dec-2014•Jarrod Kimber at the Gabba

The perfect Test

After the tragedy of Phillip Hughes' death, this match showed that cricket and life will continue to go on. This time Test cricket dug in and got through to tea.

The terrifying bouncer

When Mitchell Johnson hit Virat Kohli on the helmet with a bouncer, Australian fielders came from everywhere. Mental disintegration had gone, replaced by the cricket unity. Two teams, one family.

Clarke broken but not beaten

The young Michael Clarke wouldn't recognise this broken old man. But he'd respect him. He'd want to be him, injury and all. Because Michael Clarke is now the hero he has wanted to be since he was born.

10-Dec-2014•Jarrod Kimber at Adelaide Oval

The bouncer goes on

This Test couldn't really start until a bowler hit the middle of the pitch, until that first bouncer was bowled aggressively and handled safely. Because the bouncer belongs to cricket

09-Dec-2014•Jarrod Kimber at Adelaide Oval

Mitchell Johnson's moral dilemma

To bounce or not to bounce? Fast bowling has been one of cricket's most high-profile arts but Phillip Hughes' death has shrouded the game in a different light. How will one of today's most menacing bowlers react?

The G at the end of the line

Go to Melbourne and the MCG will suck you in. It's not part of Melbourne, it is Melbourne

Process

A contemporary word that is neither sound nor fury, signifying less than nothing

Old dogs, new spin

Like good wine, many spinners need time to mature. Here are five late bloomers from recent memory

Flintoff almost relives the glory

Freddie Flintoff will always be a cricketing hero. As close as he came to conjuring up the NatWest Blast title for Lancashire, he was just a hero no longer in his time
