Match Analysis

South Africa fight spin with fire but burn again

South Africa looked to take the attack to India's spinners, but it backfired with only AB de Villiers showing staying and scoring powers even though the pitch did not have any demons

14-Nov-2015•Firdose Moonda in Bangalore

Ashwin uses confidence and planning to trap batsmen

Three of R Ashwin's four victims on Saturday were left-handed batsmen - as are 89 of his 157 in all Tests - but there is growing evidence that he can get on top of the classiest right-handers as well

14-Nov-2015•Karthik Krishnaswamy in Bangalore

Battered New Zealand need longer view

The visitors may be out of contention to regain the Trans-Tasman trophy in this series, but by reflecting on their mistakes in Brisbane and Perth, they have the chance to set themselves up for a genuine tilt at victory on home shores next year

14-Nov-2015•Daniel Brettig at the WACA

Warner in front rank of home heroes

David Warner is refining his batsmanship into a package that is both explosive and controlled; a package that has lifted his numbers right up there among Australia's best in home Tests

13-Nov-2015•Daniel Brettig at the WACA

Mustafizur makes a sight for sore eyes

Mustafizur Rahman has been making things happen in Bangladesh cricket since he made his debut and his tale now has a new entry - bowling with nine men behind the wicket

11-Nov-2015•Mohammad Isam in Mirpur

Neither a bad pitch nor a good one

Batsmen from both sides made a turning Mohali surface look worse than it actually was, but the cricket it produced was one-dimensional. A series of this stature deserves a greater variety of skills to be on display

09-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga

SA feared the worst, they got the worst

The visitors had been wary of the Mohali pitch well before the match even began and that played as much or a greater part in the unravelling

07-Nov-2015•Firdose Moonda in Mohali

Refreshed Jadeja rediscovers his mojo

Top fitness, a bit of batting, sharpness in the field, and deadly accuracy when bowling... that has been Ravindra Jadeja's recipe for success in Test cricket previously, and it was on show once again in Mohali

07-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga in Mohali

Williamson carves out his own league

Kane Williamson could and should break all the New Zealand batting records by the end of his career. He could and should be aiming to be the best batsman in the world. Truth be told, he's not far off at the moment

07-Nov-2015•Brydon Coverdale in Brisbane

South Africa's road warriors hit speed bump

In the last nine years, South Africa have been able to find a way when all roads seemed closed. But on the second day in Mohali, they hit a speed bump that has grown into something far more sizable

06-Nov-2015•Firdose Moonda in Mohali

Ashwin's presence breeds India's belief

India's batsmen squandered the advantage of batting first on the opening day but R Ashwin was around to pick up the ball on the second day

06-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga in Mohali

Five overs of fire break New Zealand's back

New Zealand took five long sessions to claim four wickets at the Gabba. It took Australia - or more specifically, two rampaging Mitchells - 26 balls to do the same

06-Nov-2015•Brydon Coverdale at the Gabba

Improved England must do better

From being whitewashed in 2012, England could take heart from a valiant 2-0 defeat - but problems with spin bowling and converting hundreds were glaring

05-Nov-2015•Andrew McGlashan in Sharjah

Elgar's drift spins a web around India

He wasn't expected to be a main man of South Africa's bowling attack but Dean Elgar reaped rewards for paying attention to flight and drift on the first day in Mohali

05-Nov-2015•Firdose Moonda in Mohali

Misbah proud as Pakistan rise to challenge

England might not have looked threatening on paper, but Misbah-ul-Haq felt that Pakistan were stretched in all three games and were forced to produce an all-round performance to stay on the winning track

05-Nov-2015•Umar Farooq

New-look top order crafts near-perfect day for Australia

When play began at the Gabba, question marks hung over Australia's inexperienced batting line-up. By stumps, any hopes New Zealand had of exploiting that had long evaporated

05-Nov-2015•Brydon Coverdale at the Gabba

The Professor graduates with honours

Mohammad Hafeez believes that James Anderson and Stuart Broad produced the best spell of reverse-swing bowling that he has encountered in his career

04-Nov-2015•Umar Farooq in Sharjah

'If you don't learn fast you don't stick around' - Anderson's warning to spinners

England's reliance on three all-rounders to bowl spin has failed to offset the critical absence of a specialist slow bowler able to exert control

04-Nov-2015•Andrew McGlashan in Sharjah

Stokes embodies spirit but limitations hard to disguise

The sight of Ben Stokes marching out to bat with an injured shoulder heavily strapped summed up England's spirit but their spin-bowling limitations are proving hard to mask with the final Test at a critical point

03-Nov-2015•Andrew McGlashan in Sharjah

Taylor's patience again to the fore

James Taylor has waited a long time for an England Test recall and when it came in Sharjah his patience was again to the fore as he held together England's innings
