South Africa might earn consolation

Probably the only good thing that came out of Sachin Tendulkar's brilliant double-century in the second ODI - for South Africa, that is - is that the little master will not play in the final match in the series, to be played on Saturday and a raft of chan

Will history repeat itself?

Having been thoroughly outplayed in the first Test, India will be desperately hoping that history repeats itself and that victory in Kolkata will allow them to tie the series - as it did when the two teams played in 2008

Aussies unlikely to be generous

Only the rain that washed out the third one-dayer knocked Australia off course from what seemed certain to be a 5-0 series whitewash over West Indies but their professionalism should mean that though the series is won, they will still be looking to win th

All signs point to Nagpur draw

India and South Africa lock horns in the first match of a two-Test series, beginning in Nagpur on Saturday, and whichever way I look at it, I find it hard to split the two sides

Home advantage could be key

India and South Africa - together with Australia the two best Test sides in the world - go head to head in a two-match series, starting this weekend and there is very little to choose from the two, which makes picking the winner that bit more difficult

England should complete whitewash

Bangladesh gave England an enormous scare in the second one-day international on Tuesday but Eoin Morgan's century won that one for them and now they must be considered huge favourites to complete a series whitewash by winning the last match in the series

Australia to finish off Pakistan

Two matches down, three to go and if there is not a miracle in the third one-day international between Australia and Pakistan on Tuesday then the hosts will have wrapped up the series with two matches to spare

Deflated Pakistan have no chance

After the way Australia somehow managed to win the second Test when they had absolutely no right to suggests that the third and final Test, beginning in Hobart next Thursday, is a foregone conclusion against a deflated Pakistan side

Australia may be decent value

Pakistan were thoroughly outplayed by Australia in the first Test and on the face of it, have little chance of levelling the series by winning the second match, which begins at the SCG on Sunday

02-Jan-2010•Simon Cambers

Can England hold on?

It's deja vu all over again for South Africa and England after the third Test ended with the tourists somehow hanging on for a draw, a result which leaves England only needing to avoid defeat in the final Test, starting on Thursday, to clinch a series win

Aussies overwhelming favourites

Australia have never lost a home series to Pakistan and even though the hosts are not quite the force they have been for much of the past decade, they are unlikely to start losing to them now when they play each other in a three-Test series, beginning on

Hosts look to ride the momentum

South Africa so nearly got the better of England in the first Test last week and now head into the second Test at Kingsmead in Durban hoping that they can carry the momentum through to taking a 1-0 lead in the four-Test series

India look to wrap things up

India cruised to victory over Sri Lanka in the third-one-day international on Monday and now lead the series 2-1 going into the penultimate match in Kolkata, to be played on Chrismas Eve

Draw odds-on as England rally

Andrew Strauss and Jonathan Trott joined forces to lift England to 88-1 at stumps on day two of the first Test against South Africa at Centurion on Thursday and with the pitch looking fairly benign, bet365 have slashed the draw to 4/9

West Indies believe they can level series

Look around the sporting world and you will hear the word "belief" bandied about more than most others. It may be a cliche but if you think you can win, then that's half the battle and West Indies are certainly talking a good game as they look to tie the

England not as short as you'd expect

After a superb all-round performance, England might have expected to be long odds-on to go on to win the four-Test series against a faltering South Africa side. But despite taking a 1-0 lead with two matches to go, they can still be backed at 8/11 to hold

09-Dec-2009•Simon Cambers

Aussie whitewash now long odds-on

Our worst fears were confirmed in the first Test when West Indies capitulated tamely in the face of Australia's customary onslaught and it's now going to take a near-miracle to stop the home side from completing a series whitewash

25-Nov-2009•Simon Cambers

India hold all the aces

It's hard to think ofa match that one side has dominated more than the second Test betwen India and Sri Lanka as the home side took a 1-0 lead with one match to go in the three-Test series. And with only a draw needed to seal the series, it's no surprise

South Africa to stomp all over England

After the posturing of the Twenty20s, the games begin for real between South Africa and England with the first of five one-day internationals on Friday. Injuries to a couple of key players have rocked England's plans and South Africa will be determined to

South Africa more in need of win

England have surprised everyone - including themselves I am sure - by their consistency in the one-day series and stand just one match away from a rare series win as they prepare for the fifth and final one-dayer in South Africa on Friday
