South Africa vs. Sri Lanka, Third Test: Review
You win the toss on a flat track, in bright sunshine, just days after your side has inflicted a painful psychological blow on your opponents. What do you do next?
Australia vs. India, Second Test: Review
One of the great innings from Michael Clarke was more than enough to see off a sorry India side. Indeed, the away side were so poor that it made us genuinely angry. We’ve calmed down enough now to write a review.
2011: Year of the bowlers?
Ideally, Test cricket should have bat and ball in equilibrium, so that the best batsmen can be rewarded, but bowlers always have a chance of taking wickets.

Australia vs. India, Second Test: Preview
Barely has the gin-induced hangover cleared and it’s time for some more Test cricket, as Australia and India head to the SCG for the second Test of an already fascinating series.
South Africa vs. Sri Lanka, Second Test: Review

Australia vs. India, First Test: Review

Australia vs. India, First Test: Preview
Last year Australia topped off everyone’s Christmas by capitulating on Boxing Day. We hope they won’t let us down this time.
South Africa vs. Sri Lanka, Second Test: Preview
Sod Christmas, it’s all about Boxing Day. We’ve taken time out of our hectic schedule of getting drunk and laughing at Australians to take a look at the second part of the Test double-header.
