13-Dec-2015•Andrew Fidel Fernando in Dunedin

Sri Lanka's delightfully drab day

For a team used to frequent collapses from its brittle batting line-up, a partnership of 122 in 48.5 overs between Dimuth Karunaratne and Dinesh Chandimal was a pleasantly surprising display of restraint

11-Dec-2015•Andrew Fidel Fernando in Dunedin

More of the same from listless Samuels

Fifteen years since a promising Test debut on the same shores, Marlon Samuels has returned to Australia as the embodiment of a fading cricketing system where making the most of opportunities is not necessarily paramount

11-Dec-2015•Daniel Brettig in Hobart

Australia exploit West Indies' varied faults

Respect thy opponent, to all parts

After three undefeated seasons at home, New Zealand's mode of operation is clear: talk up the visiting teams and then set about traumatising them

10-Dec-2015•Andrew Fidel Fernando in Dunedin

Ashwin's Johannesburg pain turns Delhi redemption

Manjrekar: Kohli's support of talent paid rich dividends

Bavuma - small man with a big heart

By stonewalling an accomplished attack on a tricky surface, with the team having their backs to the wall, Bavuma has not only shown he has the character of a Test opener, but also earned the right to be in the starting XI when England come calling

06-Dec-2015•Firdose Moonda in New Delhi

The stop-start story of Abbott's Test career

A strong performance followed by time outside the XI has been a recurrent theme in Kyle Abbott's Test career so far. And it looks unlikely to change in the near future

05-Dec-2015•Firdose Moonda in Delhi

Dhawan's doggedness better than numbers suggest

After scoring a pair in Mohali, Shikhar Dhawan has tightened his game and backed his defence, but the challenge to convert the disciplined efforts into big innings still remains

India dominate, but questions over Rohit and Dhawan

Throughout this series, never mind the pitches earlier, India have made it seem like South Africa are batting against 18 fielders, and not nine

04-Dec-2015•Sidharth Monga in Delhi

India pointed the guns, but SA pulled the trigger

Sanjay Manjrekar has his say on a day that was completely dominated by India after South Africa shot themselves out for 121 and were left facing the prospect of a 3-0 series defeat

04-Dec-2015•ESPNcricinfo staff

Reality bites dazed South Africa

A combination of technical deficiencies, temperamental uncertainties, and India's predatory instincts rolled South Africa over again but this time the visitors were also left mentally shot

04-Dec-2015•Firdose Moonda in Delhi

Pujara's technique, Rohit's attitude, Piedt's action

03-Dec-2015•ESPNcricinfo staff
