28-Dec-2018•Daniel Brettig at the MCG

27-Dec-2018•Danyal Rasool in Centurion

27-Dec-2018•Daniel Brettig in Melbourne

The year of Cheteshwar Pujara's blossoming

27-Dec-2018•Sidharth Monga at the MCG

Wait over, weight off Agarwal on near-perfect debut

His debut at the MCG came about through a combination of circumstances but his confident 76 helped settle his nerves and would have calmed the batsmen who follow

26-Dec-2018•Sidharth Monga in Melbourne

Overlooked Lakmal rediscovers his fire

Australia's Kohli mirage sums up MCG dilemma

After such a build-up, the behaviour of the MCG track on the opening day was a disappointment, and while the ground staff and management may be looking at long-term development, the clock is ticking for the venue

26-Dec-2018•Daniel Brettig in Melbourne

Crafty Lyon casts web around India, Kohli again

15-Dec-2018•Andrew Fidel Fernando in Wellington

Who removed my spinner?

It is hard enough to win away Tests, but India keep making it harder for themselves by misreading conditions and selecting poorly

14-Dec-2018•Sidharth Monga in Perth

Marcus Harris steps up to give Australia a foothold

Marcus Harris took guard first up in Perth, for the first time in first-class cricket. Selflessness and teamwork on display, and it did the trick for his side

14-Dec-2018•Daniel Brettig in Perth

Usman Khawaja: 205 balls, one boundary

If crease occupation turns itself into a substantial innings, Khawaja's method is not a problem, but, so far this series, the tactic hasn't translated into runs

The India captain prized 'control' the most on the final day in Adelaide, and his bowlers delivered that for him
