Australia look to bounce back

Australia will have been smarting at the way they lost the No 1 ranking to South Africa after defeat in the one-day series, but they don't have much time to sulk as they are back on the field on Sunday for the first of five one-day internationals in Perth

England odds-on for West Indies win

After the drama of Kevin Pietersen's departure as captain, England are back on the cricket pitch and doubtless happier for it as they prepare for a four-Test series against West Indies in the Caribbean. And despite their off-the-field problems, the touris

Magic Morkel wins it for South Africa

Anyone who thought that South Africa would not be fired up for the one-day series against Australia wase proved totally wrong as the tourists won the opening match of the five-game series at the MCG on Friday. South Africa almost threw it away but then wa

Aussies primed for one-day success

Australia and South Africa go toe to toe once again this week as they begin a five-match one-day series. The tourists won the Test series but with their minds perhaps already on the return series in South Africa, the one-dayers look to be Australia's for

Australia salvage some pride

It seems funny to write the words "Australia salvage some pride" but things are changing in world cricket right now and Ricky Ponting's side lifted their flagging spirits by winning the final Test to avoid a whitewash. The South Africans, though, will be

South Africa complete series win

South Africa duly completed a stunning series win over Australia by winning the second Test in Melbourne on Tuesday by nine wickets. It is the first time they have ever won a series against the Aussies and perhaps more importantly, is the first time in 1

India cruise to series win

India duly batted a result out of the question on the final day of the second Test as the match in Mohali petered out into a draw. But the home side could not care one jot for that meant that they clinched a 1-0 series win to follow on from their victory

Can South Africa deny Australia?

After their defeat in India, Australia bounced back to beat New Zealand but with all due respect, the Kiwis offered little resistance, so when Australia begin a three-Test series against South Africa on Wednesday, they are likely to receive a much greater

Brilliant India finish off England

Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh ensured that India made mincemeat of England and what looked like a difficult task of scoring 387 in the fourth innings. With the momentum of that win, they will surely take some stopping when the second and final match b

India a big price for whitewash

The two-Test series between India and England is to go ahead as planned, give or take, despite the recent atrocities in Mumbai, which is good news all round. However, India hold all the aces and at 7-4 to win it 2-0, they are screaming out to be backed

Whitewash now on the cards

Anyone who thought India would ease off having already won the series were proved horribly wrong on Wednesday as they routed England again. The Indians now lead the seven-match series 5-0 and the whitewash now seems more probable than possible

India look unstoppable in Kanpur

No one-day match is a guaranteed win for any side, regardless of the difference in abilities. But with England all over the place and India on a roll, the third one-day international between the two sides looks every bit like being another win for the hom
