Match Analysis

World sees Australia's blind spot

With the pointy end of the World Cup around the corner, Australia's attack will have to find a way to cope with the absence of a high-quality attacking spinner, on pitches where their pacers may not find much help

08-Mar-2015•Daniel Brettig in Sydney

Najibullah marks Afghanistan improvement

One of Afghanistan coach Andy Moles' constant demands of his players is just to see improvement. He is not expecting miracles. On that scale, Najibullah Zadran will have emerged from the heavy defeat against New Zealand in considerable credit

08-Mar-2015•Andrew McGlashan in Napier

More than just two points for hosts

A six-wicket win with almost 14 overs to spare barely acknowledges the gulf in class between the hosts and Afghanistan, but for those New Zealand players who needed a greater workout, it was a worthwhile outing

08-Mar-2015•Andrew McGlashan in Napier

Pakistan body language holds clue to win

Pakistan's intensity levels in the field against South Africa were sky high; on display was the kind of confidence and aggression they would need to get a second wind in the tournament

07-Mar-2015•Nikita Bastian in Auckland

South Africa feel de Villiers' negative vibe

AB de Villiers felt a lack of "electric vibe" before South Africa's match against Pakistan - and his post-match disgust revealed that things only got worse

07-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda

Street-smart Sarfraz excels on second debut

Apart from keeping Pakistan's start steady at one end, Sarfraz Ahmed also freed up Umar Akmal to be used elsewhere, to provide his team the balance it lacked till now

07-Mar-2015•Devashish Fuloria in Auckland

India's pace pack turn relentless hunters

Everything came together for India's fast bowlers against West Indies

06-Mar-2015•Abhishek Purohit in Perth

Holder something for West Indies to hold on to

West Indies' batting began with Jason Holder and, until the last few overs, his efforts in the field help make a match out of a mismatch

06-Mar-2015•Jarrod Kimber in Perth

The top-order show a Bangladesh chase needed

Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim have been the rocks in the middle order, but it was the top-order partnership, the kind Tamim Iqbal and Mamudullah stitched together, that has been missing from Bangladesh's chases

05-Mar-2015•Devashish Fuloria in Nelson

Centurion Coetzer capitalises on slow start

Although the lead up to the World Cup was not perfect for Kyle Coetzer, he found some form in the warm-ups and has scored regularly to lead Scotland's case in the tournament

05-Mar-2015•Devashish Fuloria in Nelson

Afghanistan spark but fail to ignite

Afghanistan's bowlers showed potential with a few good overs but the absence of consistency helped Australia bully their attack in Perth

04-Mar-2015•Abhishek Purohit in Perth

Warner silences Afghanistan, everything else

On his favourite pitch, against an inexperienced opponent, David Warner batted Australia beyond the critical questions about their World Cup campaign

04-Mar-2015•Jarrod Kimber

Welcome win but mind the cracks

On Saturday Pakistan face South Africa in Auckland knowing that they have solved none of their long-standing issues - particularly a fragility within their top order - and that they will benefit from none of the good fortune they received here

04-Mar-2015•George Dobell in Napier

Amla substitutes style for substance

The Hashim Amla we knew became the Amla we may want to know a bit more of as he abandoned elegance and decided to go unorthodox instead to reach a career-best

03-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda in Canberra

Ireland miss their only chance

Ireland's hefty loss showed that for their bowlers, every possible advantage must be stolen by their fielders in order to avoid a lopsided scoreboard

03-Mar-2015•Daniel Brettig in Canberra

Indian batting in need of the knockout punch

Following their dominant start to the World Cup, India have three relatively low-pressure games to fine-tune ahead of the knockouts, and they will want to get their death-overs batting right

03-Mar-2015•Abhishek Purohit in Perth

Pakistan's bad cover version of 1992

The events in Brisbane may not matter much in the big picture of this World Cup, but to Misbah-ul-Haq and his men, it may yet be the spring board to repeat what happened 23 years ago

01-Mar-2015•Daniel Brettig in Brisbane

Anderson struggle typifies England's flat attack

After another blunt display, James Anderson's form at this World Cup is becoming a significant problem for England

01-Mar-2015•George Dobell in Wellington

The bunny bites back

James Anderson had tormented Lahiru Thirimanne on their previous meetings but the roles were emphatically reversed in Wellington

01-Mar-2015•Andrew Fidel Fernando in Wellington

Unloved, underprepared: what did cricket expect?

UAE's players are at the opposite end of the spectrum from India's but underperforming in one game should not be an argument against their presence at the World Cup
