Match Analysis

Fielding woes continue Sri Lankan distress

The downed catches are the cause of so much of their woe, but also, are a reflection of the confidence of a side, that has lost 12 out of 19 completed ODIs, plus two Tests, since mid-October

14-Feb-2015•Andrew Fidel Fernando in Christchurch

McCullum sets the tone

New Zealand were not short on confidence coming into their World Cup opening game against Sri Lanka but to see Brendon McCullum take the game by the scruff of its neck was an uplifting experience

14-Feb-2015•Andrew McGlashan

In-form New Zealand end prep in style

New Zealand have had a long build-up to the World Cup and they signed off with a demolition of one of the tournament favourites, South Africa

11-Feb-2015•Andrew McGlashan at Hagley Oval

Bopara's role causing England problems

The scoreline in the final may not suggest it, but England have made progress in Australia. However, their death bowling and Ravi Bopara's role at No. 6 remain significant concerns ahead of the World Cup

01-Feb-2015•George Dobell at the WACA

Taylor - and the hope that hurts

Thanks to James Taylor and Jos Buttler, and a place in the tri-nations final against Australia in Perth, England feel like World Cup contenders again

30-Jan-2015•George Dobell

MS Dhoni runs into finishing trouble

MS Dhoni the lethal, calculated finisher has gone missing of late; maybe it's time he took the pressure off himself and batted higher up the order, in order to regain his last-overs mojo ahead of the World Cup knockouts

29-Jan-2015•Sidharth Monga

Off-stump blues leave Dhawan flailing

The out-of-form Shikhar Dhawan still has the backing of his captain, but there's no denying his slump has arrived at an inconvenient time for India and his technical issues have to be sorted out before they attempt to defend the World Cup

26-Jan-2015•Sidharth Monga at the SCG

Rohit finds the happy middle ground

Rohit Sharma's 138 at the MCG had a refreshing urgency, the lack of which has often confounded observers who believe he doesn't necessarily have to go slow at the start

19-Jan-2015•Sidharth Monga

The sangfroid that saved India

Faced with the negative momentum that threatened to drag India down, Ajinkya Rahane and Bhuvneshwar Kumar showed plenty of self-possession to pull their team to safety

10-Jan-2015•Sidharth Monga at the SCG

Australia 2, India 0, Pitches 4

Australia won this series in spite of some of the flattest pitches seen down under for years. It is three decades since Melbourne and Sydney both ended in stalemate

10-Jan-2015•Daniel Brettig at the SCG

India's other-end problem

When R Ashwin was actually onto something, however briefly, the other end mattered. If only India can sort out the other end, all the runs that Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane have been scoring might amount to something

09-Jan-2015•Sidharth Monga at the SCG

Rogers, Australia's utility man

Though lazily typecast as the dour counterpoint to Warner's pyrotechnics, Rogers has shaped many an innings to fit the prevailing circumstances

09-Jan-2015•Daniel Brettig at the SCG

KL Rahul lets himself breathe

Two single-figure scores on debut, a sitter dropped to start the Sydney Test, a few misfields and everybody feared if we would even get to watch KL Rahul's normal game. But he got through his nerves and secured a maiden Test hundred

08-Jan-2015•Sidharth Monga at the SCG

Australia have beaten India, but not Kohli

Virat Kohli sledges, he celebrates aggressively, he stares, he gets angry - with his team and the opposition - but at the end of it all he's scored a mountain of runs and refuses to be beaten by Australia

08-Jan-2015•Jarrod Kimber at the SCG

Steven Smith's most difficult day

Steven Smith had a tough day as captain in Brisbane too, but there he maintained an outward calm at least; today, as Virat Kohli and KL Rahul gathered their runs, he was harried and did not handle things at optimum levels

08-Jan-2015•Daniel Brettig at the SCG

Bhuvneshwar's swing and miss

He was India's best player in England, but how would he cope with Australian conditions when the Kookaburra ball fails to swing? Sydney showed he wasn't able to

07-Jan-2015•Sidharth Monga at the SCG

Daylight between Steven Smith and the rest

Australia's top six batsmen scored more than 50 for the first time in Test cricket, but none of the batsmen was anywhere near as masterful as the captain Steven Smith

07-Jan-2015•Daniel Brettig at the SCG

New Zealand's potent modus operandi

Sri Lanka had victory in sight with the opposition effectively 24 for 5 in the second innings, yet the gulf in the teams' fielding sent New Zealand to their 193-run win, Angelo Mathews said

07-Jan-2015•Andrew Fidel Fernando at Basin Reserve

CM Gautam, Karnataka's first-innings firefighter

Four times this Ranji Trophy season, CM Gautam has walked in to bat with Karnataka's first innings floundering and each time, he has walked away after reprising a rescue act

06-Jan-2015•Karthik Krishnaswamy in Hubli

WI left exposed by Chanderpaul failure

For so long a cornerstone of West Indies batting, Shivnarine Chanderpaul's failure in this series left the tourists more exposed than usual and perhaps gave a worrying glimpse at the future
