Ishant Sharma must have felt caught in a sci-fi horror movie: there he was, valiantly defending one side of his spaceship. On the other side, some cowboys were letting all the aliens in

19-Aug-2011•Sharda Ugra at The Oval

England offer India a blueprint for revival

India's opposition has given them all possible indicators as to how turnarounds, while difficult, are neither impossible nor complicated

18-Aug-2011•Sharda Ugra at The Oval

Hungry England pursue lasting greatness

It may well be too early to suppose that England are on the verge of a dynastic rein, as achieved by the great West Indies and Australia sides, but they've certainly found the formula for continued success

17-Aug-2011•Andrew Miller

India's last chance to turn up

Though India lacked the aura of the No. 1 teams of the past, they had the resilience and results. After the first three Tests in England, nothing remains

14-Aug-2011•Andrew Miller at Edgbaston

A terrifying reality check for India

After all the analysis of why India have failed to live up to the No. 1 billing they arrived in England with, all that remains is a big fat exclamation that is the 3-0 series scoreline

13-Aug-2011•Sharda Ugra at Edgbaston

Triumphant England must retain their determination

England's ascent to the top spot in the Test rankings has been swift, but Andrew Strauss's men know the descent from the summit can be quick and humiliating if standards are allowed to waver
