Analysis

Test cricket deserves better

A match that could, and should, have been fought to a rousing finish was allowed to meander to a miserable stalemate

23-Dec-2008•Andrew Miller

One last drama, and a dream ended prematurely

Highlights of the seventh round of the Ranji Trophy's Super League and Plate matches

22-Dec-2008•Cricinfo staff

Fortune favours the cautious

A two-Test rubber was always going to sell this series short, but only now do we get an idea of quite how short

22-Dec-2008•Andrew Miller

Yuvraj spurred by banter

The confidence with which Yuvraj Singh batted on the fourth evening went a long way towards eliminating the slim possibility of an Indian defeat

22-Dec-2008•S Aga

India treated to the real KP

Pietersen made a statement to be remembered, battering India's bowlers at a tempo that none of their own players had been able, or willing, to replicate in their own first innings

21-Dec-2008•Andrew Miller

Defensive Dhoni stalls Pietersen's charge

Had England gone to stumps with just the four wickets down, Mahendra Singh Dhoni would most likely have been excoriated for his negativity

21-Dec-2008•S Aga

Chokers no more

History is written by the victors and this year South Africa have made so many alterations to the accepted version that the past is now irrelevant

21-Dec-2008•Brydon Coverdale in Perth

Wanted: A miracle

Andrew Flintoff was as hostile as ever, but England may already need a miracle to win this Test

20-Dec-2008•Andrew Miller

In August company

The only difference was the absence of a voluble crowd, especially on the Western Terrace. Otherwise, the first day of the second Test between India and England in Mohali, could have been a facsimile of the opening day at Headingley in August 2002.

19-Dec-2008•S Aga

Ridden by doubt, Hayden's time is running out

On a day when Rahul Dravid at least delayed further queries about his retirement plans, Matthew Hayden's second failure of the match against South Africa has only intensified speculation over his future

19-Dec-2008•Brydon Coverdale at the WACA

Grading performances

The selection of players from domestic cricket for contracts doesn't follow any trend, and has some glaring omissions and inclusions

19-Dec-2008•Sidharth Monga

Johnson has a ball in his new home

Mitchell Johnson is like a wind-up toy. He'll tear in at the same speed all day but he has to be pointing in the right direction when the string is pulled

18-Dec-2008•Brydon Coverdale at the WACA

India must be wary of backlash

Given that Mohali pitches tend to have a bit more bounce than other Indian ones, Harmison should survive the cull, and with two spinners a necessity rather than a luxury, it should be Anderson who sits out

18-Dec-2008•S Aga

India spinning into a crisis?

It's up to Harbhajan Singh and Amit Mishra to prove that they can at least partially fill the breach left by Anil Kumble's retirement

17-Dec-2008•Dileep Premachandran

Neither side goes the distance

Since the teams last met nearly three years ago Australia's power has diminished while South Africa have grown stronger

17-Dec-2008•Brydon Coverdale at the WACA

Comeback men, and comeback teams

Highlights of the sixth round of the Ranji Trophy's Super League and Plate matches

16-Dec-2008•Cricinfo staff

Optimism and oblivion

It would have been thoughtless cricket from England if Sehwag's abilities hadn't been factored into their calculations today, but it was equally thoughtful that they succeeded in avoiding the trap of trying to bat at his inimitable tempo

14-Dec-2008•Andrew Miller

Bold England defy the script

Both wickets and runs have had to be earned in this match. Which is how it should be in Test cricket

13-Dec-2008•Sambit Bal in Chennai

Dravid's form beyond a slump

Rahul Dravid is a modern great but his goodwill account is depleting fast

12-Dec-2008•Sambit Bal

Shadow of terror, and the communication gap

Highlights of the fifth round of the Ranji Trophy's Super League and Plate matches
