How to build the ideal T20 side

To start with, stop thinking of players as batsmen, bowlers and allrounders; it's far more nuanced than that

Why can't we make yorkers great again?

We often hear fans cry out for them as batsmen rack up the runs in T20, but there are reasons for why they aren't as effective as they once were

The season of Kohli, and all his men

Thirteen Tests, ten wins, four trophies. This is the story of India's historic home season, and the players that made it happen

Australia's session of horror and melancholy

Australia had come to India well-prepared, and had competed for three-and-a-half Tests, but the middle session of the third day disrupted all their diligence

The Ranchi daymare

What an Australian fielder might have experienced on day four, watching Cheteshwar Pujara go on and on and on. And then, those hellish eight overs to stumps...

Cummins, the fast bowler who flies

The 23-year old has had an injury-ravaged career. He came to India with little preparation but emerged the leader of Australia's attack on a pitch that had nothing for him

Australia's battle of patience

Despite Steven Smith's remarkable ton, despite Glenn Maxwell's barely believable knock, despite having 451 on the board, it seems the Ranchi Test is still in the balance for Australia

17-Mar-2017•Jarrod Kimber in Ranchi

The weirdness of Maxwell's proper Test innings

On a pitch most suited for him on this tour, David Warner, the T20-specialist-turned-Test star, got his eye in and then played a wasteful shot. The grown-up knock came from another T20 specialist, instead: Glenn Maxwell

Australia's endless fight ends abruptly

Having bowled and batted with tremendous skill over the first two days in Bengaluru, Australia's discipline began to unravel on the third

Blood, sweat and insults - the battle of day two

The series was on the line - or at least that's how it felt - and after 90 overs of the best Test cricket in a long time both Australia and India are still in with a shout

05-Mar-2017•Jarrod Kimber in Bengaluru

Lyon overcomes discomfort of expectation

Nathan Lyon hadn't quite produced a body of work in Asia, but his pain of failing to meet the level required in spin-friendly conditions was quickly alleviated in Bengaluru

Point fielders with gloves

Wicketkeepers are batting better than ever before, but it's time for them to go back to what they were best at

A mixed-up tale of two captains

Steven Smith's Australia were supposed to be left distraught by a nightmarish Pune pitch. Virat Kohli's India were supposed to continue on their merry way. That's not what happened

O'Keefe chooses the big stage to defy beliefs

In the past, Steve O'Keefe has dismissed Kevin Pietersen, Virat Kohli, and many more in first-class cricket. Yet Australia have consistently found reasons not to pick him
