India's least favourite venue

India have lost the last four times they've turned up for a Test at the Basin Reserve, and some of their heaviest defeats against New Zealand have been at this ground

Same Eden, different ground

A history lesson from Auckland, the Naked Bus, and Munaf goes native

30-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga

The case of the brittle Kiwi

Why does New Zealand produce so many fast bowlers who promise the moon and then break down with injury and vanish off the scene?

29-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga

A lesson in perseverance

With 619 on the board for New Zealand, the third day was going to be one where the pitch would be taken out of the equation. It was going to be a day decided by mental and physical battles

28-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga in Napier

Let down by fielding and intensity

This Indian team has taken giant strides over the last year and a half, but when the pitch is flat, and when the batsmen are hard to dislodge, they seem to switch off

27-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga in Napier

India forced to play 'catch up'

It had all the makings of a dramatic day for India. In fact, things started happening too quickly last afternoon

26-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga in Napier

Wairarapa boys punish India

In a summer of gloom, the two silver linings for New Zealand cricket shone bright on a lovely sunny day in Napier today

26-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga in Napier

Vettori promises hard fight

Daniel Vettori knows the public deserves better than what happened in Hamilton, a tame defeat in four days. It's not the loss that hurts them as much, but the manner in which they lost

25-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga in Napier

New Zealand seek to break Napier drought

Stats preview to the second Test between New Zealand and India in Napier

25-Mar-2009•S Rajesh

Ten-year ache

Shane Bond wasn't the first exciting New Zealand fast bowler who struggled with injuries through a truncated career

25-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga

Spinners thrive, minnows flounder, sixes flow

The Women's World Cup witnessed several statistical highlights. Cricinfo looks at some of the interesting numbers from the tournament

24-Mar-2009•Cricinfo staff

A great advertisement for women's cricket

The pitches, slower at the end of Australia's summer season, aided spin but did not let the bowlers to dominate the batsmen; the two-week format allowed each side a minimum of four games

24-Mar-2009•Nishi Narayanan

Bates smashes her way into England's concerns

Suzie Bates' total was the highest for a female New Zealand batsman, beating Karen Le Combers' 135 not out against Ireland in 1996

19-Mar-2009•Jenny Roesler in Sydney

Wish you were here

It was an exhilarating day's play. Six wickets in the first session, followed by two superb centuries, a good comeback by the bowling side and a blazing start by the visitors

18-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga at Seddon Park

The drama around Ryder's maiden century

The hapless Chris Martin came in to bat with five balls to go in the Harbhajan over, with Ryder looking on from the non-striker's end, two short of a maiden Test century.

18-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga in Hamilton

Dangerous underdogs

A tough series will maintain the credibility of New Zealand's Test side, a win will set them forward by leaps, but they can't afford to get outplayed

17-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga in Hamilton

Buoyant India unfazed by dismal record

They may not have a Test win in New Zealand since 1976 but India are focused on winning the series instead of worrying about past performances

17-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga in Hamilton

A fine venue for pace, and for Vettori the batsman

Stats preview to the first Test between New Zealand and India in Hamilton

16-Mar-2009•S Rajesh

The Tests are here

The first thing Daniel Vettori did upon arriving at Seddon Park, two days before the first Test, was to have a look at the pitch. He inspected it for a good five to ten minutes and then chatted with the curator Karl Johnson

16-Mar-2009•Sidharth Monga in Hamilton

A tale of two comebacks

If the two teams needed any motivation before the start of the Tests, it has arrived in the form of L Balaji and James Franklin
