Smith the devastated captain ends it where it began

24-Mar-2011•Firdose Moonda in Mirpur

Time for India's batting to 'bring it'

With the kind of choice he has, each bowling change Shahid Afridi makes has ensured that batsmen are unable to fall into the kind of rhythm they thrive on. On the pitches of the subcontinent, that is often a winning ploy

22-Mar-2011•Osman Samiuddin in Mirpur
