In a tournament already loaded with low scoring matches, and in a season dominated by Australian wins, there came another contest at the Melbourne Cricket Ground today to reinforce the pattern

16-Jan-2000•John Polack

11-Jan-2000•John Polack

Australia sinks as Shoaib resurfaces

To say that this was an unusual day in the life of Shoaib Akhtar and of Pakistan cricket in general would be a gross understatement

09-Jan-2000•John Polack

Waugh of attrition again goes Australia's all-conquering way

30-Dec-1999•John Polack

Lee, Tendulkar grace MCG stage

Capitalising upon the opportunities afforded them by a significant improvement in Melbourne's weather, it was two players at opposite ends of the Test cricketing spectrum who emerged as the stars on a magical day three of the Second Test between

28-Dec-1999•John Polack

Slater the main act in rain-reduced show

Over recent seasons, inclement weather seems to have become more synonymous with the Boxing Day Test than the sense of theatre and excitement for which it has always been renowned

26-Dec-1999•John Polack

Bizarre end to forgettable match

20-Dec-1999•John Polack

Since the 1993/94 season, Australia has not lost a Test series at home and India not won one away

14-Dec-1999•John Polack

Spectacularly stern middle and late order batting resistance has been the defining feature of this summer of cricket for the home team and so it proved again today on the first day of the First Test between Australia and India here at the Adelaide

Indians crash to big defeat

A fun, festival-style match this is supposed to be, but it is doubtful that India's cricketers will be leaving Canberra in anything even vaguely resembling a jovial mood after suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of the Prime Minister's XI at the

07-Dec-1999•John Polack

Queensland coast to ten wicket victory

As expected, Queensland applied the finishing touches to a comfortable ten wicket win over India in the tour match between the teams at the 'Gabba in Brisbane on Monday

29-Nov-1999•John Polack

Full-strength Blues tame toothless Tigers

14-Nov-1999•John Polack
