India bowlers need to curb mistakes under pressure

21-Jan-2014•Umar Farooq in Sharjah

20-Jan-2014•Abhishek Purohit in Napier

Sri Lanka tread too far down the conservative route

19-Jan-2014•Karthik Krishnaswamy in Indore

For the second successive day, Pakistan's bowlers struggled on a flat pitch. The team, however, could take heart from the success of their pacers, Mohammad Talha and Junaid Khan

17-Jan-2014•Umar Farooq in Sharjah

Sri Lanka take comfort from new heroes

Fourteen months on from fielding their oldest ever XI in a Test, Sri Lanka have regenerated at great speed and now brought to the fore, a talented crop of youngsters who are bound to leave the fans very excited for the future

Karunaratne hopes to build on starts

Just eight Tests old, Dimuth Karunaratne has the skills to become a fine international opener. With more consistency and a better understanding of his own game, he may well be the answer to Sri Lanka's top order as they continue replacing the old guard

Is workload taking a toll on Ajmal?

Saeed Ajmal made a relatively late entry into international cricket but didn't play his first Test till he was almost 32. He is 36 now and is doing his best to make up for lost time having been a key player for Pakistan for many years

10-Jan-2014•Umar Farooq in Dubai

Sri Lanka still rough around the edges

Sri Lanka have the ingredients of a fine Test team but a little all-round dynamism might make the end product more appetising

10-Jan-2014•Andrew Fidel Fernando in Dubai
