Match Analysis

India pull no punches

Attack has been a good slave for India's batsmen this series, but they shouldn't let it become a bad master

30-Dec-2014•Sidharth Monga at the MCG

South Africa brush off West Indies' gains

With barely 200 overs bowled in the Test, both teams were left to assess their own performances with each deciding they had plenty to be pleased about

30-Dec-2014•Firdose Moonda in Port Elizabeth

What is 24 balls more?

With four overs to go, Australia's chances of victory were slim, but not impossible. Instead, Steven Smith was simply content that the Border-Gavaskar trophy was back in their grasp

30-Dec-2014•Brydon Coverdale

Did Australia win the wrong way?

With a 2-0 lead, Australia only had to play risk-free cricket on the fifth day at the MCG to win the series. They achieved victory, but did they take caution too far?

30-Dec-2014•Jarrod Kimber at the MCG

Gritty Brathwaite passes stern test

Only 16 matches into his Test career, Kraigg Brathwaite negotiated the conditions in Port Elizabeth, South Africa's bowling attack and the clouds with class and composure

29-Dec-2014•Firdose Moonda in Port Elizabeth

India's gangling life support

For long a contributor to India's lack of control with the ball, Ishant Sharma has become far more accurate. The rest of the fast-bowling attack, however, still remains wayward

29-Dec-2014•Sidharth Monga at the MCG

No fear, the Australian tail is here

Since the 2009 Ashes, several poor Australian performances have been masked by their bowlers, who have had to do both their job as well as that of their batsmen

29-Dec-2014•Jarrod Kimber

Marsh battles for job security

Some might say Shaun Marsh has got more chances than he deserves at Test level, but at the MCG he played an innings of great value to Australia, and his career

29-Dec-2014•Brydon Coverdale at the MCG

West Indies push past tense thirties

None of the West Indies batsmen could go beyond the thirties in Centurion but two of them have already managed sixties in Port Elizabeth. Greater application was on display against an attack that remains intimidating in any conditions

28-Dec-2014•Firdose Moonda in Port Elizabeth

Virat Kohli, soul provider of India's batting

It was in Australia in 2011 that Virat Kohli announced himself as an emerging talent in Test cricket. Now, as the leader of a young batting group, he has owned the stage

28-Dec-2014•Sambit Bal at the MCG

Australia's butter fingers

Australian teams were renowned for their exceptional catching and fielding. This side is letting those standards slide

28-Dec-2014•Brydon Coverdale at the MCG

Karunaratne's day of self denial

Sri Lanka's left-handed opener likes nothing more than to play his shots, but after paying for some impetuosity by being dropped he has marked his return with a new-found steel

28-Dec-2014•Andrew Fidel Fernando at Hagley Oval

From waterboy to warrior

Ajinkya Rahane was part of India's bench strength for several series before he finally got his opportunity. He's made it count on the most testing tours

28-Dec-2014•Jarrod Kimber at the MCG

New Zealand's deadly tag team

In Tim Southee and Trent Boult, two bowlers who swing the ball at pace and complement each other, New Zealand possess one of cricket's most exciting partnerships

27-Dec-2014•Andrew Fidel Fernando at Hagley Oval

India's bowlers fall short, again

India have let slip another Test that held promise for them courtesy one horrible bowling session; when their rigid bouncer strategy failed, their only apparent plan was waiting for batsmen to eventually surrender their wickets

27-Dec-2014•Sambit Bal at the MCG

Smith acting like a captain

In his first two Tests as Australia captain, Steven Smith has scored runs, with the tail and in the first innings to set up games, and in abundance. He's led his team from the front

27-Dec-2014•Brydon Coverdale at the MCG

Rudderless Shami proves too costly

Mohammed Shami bowls a few really good balls, but they are interspersed with far too many loose ones, an inconsistency that is unacceptable in Test cricket

27-Dec-2014•Sidharth Monga at the MCG

Limited progress holds West Indies back

West Indies' bowlers made some improvements between the two Tests but on the opening day in Port Elizabeth, when they could have had a say in the day's play, they let South Africa make the big statements.

26-Dec-2014•Firdose Moonda in Port Elizabeth

A day that lived up to Boxing Day expectations

Tests don't come grander than the Boxing Day and the first day's play at the MCG lived up to expectations, with its subplots and slow twists

26-Dec-2014•Sidharth Monga at the MCG

Australia's 50-50 lifelines

Three Australia players made half-centuries on day one at the MCG; for each of them, the innings' meant different things
