Match Analysis

No surprises for Davey and Scotland

Sri Lanka may not have done much research on Scotland but they knew who Josh Davey was and took him on accordingly

11-Mar-2015•Jarrod Kimber

India's spinners rush through Ireland

India hustled Ireland with speed and pace: not pace bowling or impressive readings on the speed gun, bouncers and yorkers, but a foot-on-the-pedal approach with bat and ball which left Ireland with little time to think

10-Mar-2015•Sharda Ugra in Hamilton

Familiar shortcomings stunt Ireland progress

When the pitch is flat and the opponent is well-drilled and playing their A game, this Ireland team does not yet have the depth of skill to challenge them

10-Mar-2015•George Binoy in Hamilton

A balm for the nation

Dhaka has been witness to great cricket celebrations several times in the last two decades but the latest one had that dash of spontaneity the country needed

09-Mar-2015•Mohammad Isam

Embarrassment to foster radical change

Good may come of this debacle. There can be no concealing the poverty of England's cricket now. This performance - or lack of it - cannot be tolerated

09-Mar-2015•George Dobell in Adelaide

Englishmen woken by dawn chorus of doom

Cricket in the Antipodes is a fretful business for Englishmen following at home and the prospect of waking to Yet Another New Low has never fired an enthusiasm for the dawn chorus

09-Mar-2015•Alan Gardner

Mahmudullah reflects essence of Bangladesh

He has been much derided, has had his share of luck and tested the faith shown in him. Now he has paid it back, and with this win, so has Bangladesh

09-Mar-2015•Mohammad Isam

UAE crucial prep ahead of tougher tests

South Africa will back their seamers to give them an advantage over Sri Lanka but they need to use the match against the UAE to fine tune their attack

09-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda in Wellington

SA's best bet - believe it's a bilateral

The World Cup's unique pressure causes teams to over-think and South Africa could be best served by keeping things as simple as possible

08-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda

Bowling strategy leaves Sri Lanka cramped for room

One of the major shortcomings of Sri Lanka's three-bowler plan is that it has left them with no scope to out-think attacking batting line-ups, particularly in the death overs

08-Mar-2015•Andrew Fidel Fernando in Sydney

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
