Specials – Best of the Tests : Australia v Pakistan

  Australia and Pakistan are set to play each other in a Test series after more than four years. Just like the previous series in England in 2010, the absence of a third Test in the series is disappointing. Nevertheless, the two teams are playing a Test series in the sub-continent after twelve long years […]

Famous Test Matches – Australia v India, Adelaide, 1977-78

  The 1977-78 series between Australia and India was played in the midst of one of cricket’s most testing periods.

[…]

Famous Test Matches – Pakistan v Bangladesh, Multan, 2003

  This was the third Test of Bangladesh’s first full tour of Pakistan. The hosts had unsurprisingly sealed the series by winning the first two Tests, but it did not come as easy as expected.   In the first Test at Karachi, Pakistan were set a tricky 217 to win while in the second Test […]

IN FOCUS – Indian women return to Test cricket in style

  The Indian Women’s team did not let an eight-year hiatus from Test cricket come in their way as they completed a convincing six-wicket victory against England Women in the one-off four-day Test at the Sir Paul Getty’s Ground in Wormsley yesterday.   It was indeed a great achievement for a team with eight debutants […]

IN FOCUS – South Africa in Zimbabwe Test match 2014 : Preview

  South Africa and Zimbabwe are set to play each other in a Test match after more than nine years. This one-off Test will most likely be a one-sided affair, but watching the neighbouring African nations go head-to-head after so long will no doubt bring a refreshing novelty to the Test calendar. Zimbabwe, constantly bogged […]

IN FOCUS – Pakistan in Sri Lanka Test series 2014 : Preview

  This two-Test series is set to be the fourth series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in less than three years. The two nations have developed a healthy rivalry in recent times and the cricket between them has often been interesting to watch. Again, the absence of a third Test is disappointing. The Matches and […]

VIEWPOINT – Is there a bigger dampener than a two-Test series?

  “As the ICC has increased the number of T20 Internationals that countries can play against each other, the number of two-Test series are becoming more common, which I would rather not happen at all because they are a nothingness of a nothing”.   This is what the great former Indian batsman Rahul Dravid said […]
