Rahane quietly bedding in as India's No. 6

17-Jul-2014•Sidharth Monga at Lord's

17-Jul-2014•Andrew Fidel Fernando in Galle

Sri Lanka avoid the Sri Lanka treatment

South Africa looked all set to hand Sri Lanka a taste of their own medicine, but an unrelenting spell of accuracy from Suranga Lakmal meant the hosts had other ideas

16-Jul-2014•Andrew Fidel Fernando

Elgar's application hints at long-term promise

By becoming the first South African opener to score a century in Sri Lanka, Dean Elgar suggested he might have both the talent and the temperament to succeed at international level

16-Jul-2014•Firdose Moonda in Galle

Burnout worries after deathly slog

The opening Test ended with the levity of Alastair Cook taking a Test wicket in a match where his captaincy showed encouraging signs but England should be assisted more by their system rather than hindered

13-Jul-2014•George Dobell at Trent Bridge

Binny's selection does not prove trivial

Why had Stuart Binny been picked in this Test? It was probably not with a match-saving innings in mind, but that's what he produced just when India were threatening to topple apart

13-Jul-2014•Sidharth Monga at Trent Bridge

England could turn to Kerrigan at Lord's

After a hard slog on a lifeless wicket and similarly docile conditions expected at Lord's, England may recall the Lancashire spinner to inject a bit of bite into their bowling attack

12-Jul-2014•George Dobell at Trent Bridge

Dhoni's instincts fail him

Like George Costanza once did, India's captain went against his normal ahead of the first Test but on the fourth day, with a match still winnable for India, he went back to a familiar game plan

12-Jul-2014•Sidharth Monga at Trent Bridge

South Africa beat the Sri Lankan bogey

South Africa's maiden ODI series win in Sri Lanka showcased the lessons they had learned from a chastening 1-4 drubbing the last time they visited - An improved top-order and a better spin attack

12-Jul-2014•Firdose Moonda

Ishant's rewards for the dirty work

Ishant Sharma is an odd sort of 'attack leader', averaging over 37 in Test cricket and not given the new ball, but extracting England's middle order on a docile pitch showed why he is persisted with

11-Jul-2014•Sidharth Monga at Trent Bridge

Lack of leaders a hurdle to England revival

11-Jul-2014•George Dobell at Trent Bridge

The joy of one, the pain of another

The No. 11 of India's order did something the No. 1 of England's order can only dream of at the moment: score a Test fifty

10-Jul-2014•Jarrod Kimber at Trent Bridge

Cook's dismissal betrays frazzled mind

Some may say that the England captain's dismissal was unlucky, but it was the latest example of the demons he is battling as the form slump grows longer

10-Jul-2014•George Dobell at Trent Bridge

Change of attitude aids remarkable stand

India's recent track of record of lower-order runs is poor, but they began correcting that with a mammoth 10th wicket stand which showed the application and mindset that has often been lacking

10-Jul-2014•Sidharth Monga at Trent Bridge

Vijay the millionaire meets Vijay the coal-miner

In recent times, fortune has conspired against M Vijay and runs have been lacking. At Trent Bridge, though, after a small slice of luck at the start, he combined flair and patience to great effect

09-Jul-2014•Sidharth Monga at Trent Bridge

Test pitch comes gift wrapped

England could not have produced a pitch more suiting India's needs at Trent Bridge if they had gift wrapped it with a note of welcome

09-Jul-2014•George Dobell at Trent Bridge

Poor pitches killing English T20

More than match-fixing, chucking or the absence of cricket from free-to-air television, poor pitches will destroy cricket and turn away spectators from the English game
