Decade review

From Launceston to the top of the world

A video look back at Ricky Ponting in the 2000s

22-Jan-2010

'This one's extra satisfying' - Ponting

Cricinfo's Player of the Decade title is "a great honour and a great thrill" for Australia's captain

14-Jan-2010•Brydon Coverdale

Laughing boy

Like Bradman before him, Ponting turned the opposition into ball-ferriers, delighting in his mastery all the while

14-Jan-2010•Christian Ryan

Ponting voted Player of the Decade

Australian captain beats Jacques Kallis to be voted cricketer of the 2000s

14-Jan-2010•Cricinfo staff

Gilly and Baz go bonkers

Flintoff's Edgbaston magic, a Tendulkar gem, that 434 chase, and the IPL's fiery start feature in the second part of our performances of the decade

12-Jan-2010•Dileep Premachandran

What can we expect from the 2010s?

City-based franchises or a world Test championship? Best- and worst-case scenarios for the new decade

11-Jan-2010•Rob Steen

Ricky rampages, Shoaib sizzles

One of the greatest Tests of the decade, four World Cup performances, a seven-for, and a blazing double feature in the first part of our performances of the decade

11-Jan-2010•Dileep Premachandran

A great decade for run-making

More results in Tests, more rewards for spinners; but batsmen dominate. A look at some significant numbers from the 10 years gone by

10-Jan-2010•Siddhartha Talya

The rise of the US, the death of Tests

Test cricket will die, Twenty20 will kill it; Test cricket will thrive, Twenty20 will peter out: our writers and columnists have all sorts of predictions for the 2010s

10-Jan-2010

What football and basketball can teach cricket

The influx of big money into cricket in the last decade has parallels in other sports; there are lessons to be found there as well

08-Jan-2010•Jayaditya Gupta

Missed chances and lost glories

For England, despite the Ashes successes, the overriding feeling as the 2000s drew to a close was one of a gnawing emptiness

07-Jan-2010•Andrew Miller

Little cricket, lots of corruption

The game was an afterthought in a decade of near anarchy under the Mugabe regime: Zimbabwe lost Test status, most of its senior players, and the compassion of the cricketing world

06-Jan-2010•Martin Williamson

Whatever happened to context?

Cricket has become a victim of the culture of fun. Now there are no sub-plots, no drama and no rivalries; it's difficult to gauge the value of players, and hard to get excited about all but a few match-ups

05-Jan-2010•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

Why 55 is the new 50

Numbers indicate that the noughties was the best decade for batting in a long, long time

04-Jan-2010•S Rajesh

A time to loot and plunder

Aided by fat bats, flat pitches and the absence of menacing bowlers, batsmen made merry in the 2000s, setting new records and devaluing Test run-making in the process

04-Jan-2010•Peter Roebuck

From match-fixing to Modi

The last decade in Indian cricket was defined by three kinds of madness

02-Jan-2010•Rahul Bhattacharya

Where is the game headed?

Twenty20 can save or destroy cricket. India, the financial backbone, must lead the rest into the decade with responsibility and vision

01-Jan-2010•Harsha Bhogle

Aussies and others

Five Australians figure in each of the two XIs of the decade picked by Cricinfo's jury

01-Jan-2010•Jamie Alter

From the fringes to the engine room

Over this decade the role of the coach assumed more importance and complexity than it ever had before. Opinion, though, has remained divided on the utility of the position

31-Dec-2009•Peter English

The downward spiral

In the 2000s, West Indies went further and faster down the slippery slope they started on the decade before, as infighting, apathy and instability came to reign
