Azhar's milestone year, Bird's MCG love

The Pakistan batsman went past 1000 runs in 2016; the Australia bowler's average at the MCG is eye-catching as well

27-Dec-2016•Bharath Seervi

Bird holds his own amid uncertainty

Shafiq, unsung but not an underachiever

Asad Shafiq's prominence in Pakistan's rise would have perhaps been a bigger deal, had he been a player from cricket's Big Three

A week of startling symmetry

The second week of the Women's Big Bash League 2016-17 had an uncanny set of results, even as the Melbourne Stars reinforced their batting line-up around their star Meg Lanning

22-Dec-2016•Geoff Lemon and Adam Collins

Steketee constructs last over to ease bad memories

After being dumped into the Adelaide Oval construction site three years ago, Mark Steketee can enjoy looking at the new stand

Pakistan claim the Gabba with heart, and mind

With an application rarely seen in their batting performances overseas and a constant willingness to believe, Pakistan made history, and yet didn't quite make it

19-Dec-2016•Jarrod Kimber at the Gabba

The Test match of the year?

A thrilling Gabba Test highlighted how Pakistan continue to remain predictably unpredictable
