South African quicks aim to refocus radar
Just as they did at The Oval last July, South Africa's quicks bowled too wide on the first day. Allan Donald hopes they can stage an Oval-style turnaround Cullinan: 'Smith could've managed bowlers better' M Vijay vigilantly watched half of the first over of this Test match sail past him. Dale Steyn was steaming in, swinging the ball away, and although he beat Vijay's outside edge once, he...
Don't think SA quicks were threatening - Kohli
'Kohli showed tremendous adjustment' After scoring a hundred in his first Test innings in South Africa, a knock that reminded Allan Donald of Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli displayed a sense of occasion befitting an elder statesman, and some anger at host broadcasters. Both motivate him, and should not be overly frowned upon. It was at Wanderers that Kohli was hit by a short ball in the ribcage...
Ryder recalled to one-day squad

Warner, Smith, Bailey released to BBL
Victory in the Ashes has allowed Cricket Australia to make a concession to the start of the Big Bash League, releasing David Warner, Steven Smith and George Bailey to take part in the opening round of the Twenty20 competition this week.

'I'd love to spill my guts' - Sammy
Darren Sammy, the West Indies captain, has bit his lip over the suspension of offspinner Shane Shillingford due an illegal action but admitted there was a lot he would like to say about the issue. There is a strong sense that West Indies feel harshly treated over Shillingford, whose doosra and traditional offspinner were found to breach the 15-degree limit laid down by the ICC.

India's next gen gear for torrid test
When Sachin Tendulkar was not a former India player, he always took the front left seat on the team bus. Nobody used to sit next to him. It was always Tendulkar and his thoughts. Two days before India go into a big test of their transition, Virat Kohli was in that seat on the team bus. It was perhaps symbolic that while Kohli might have sat in that row, he didn't take the Tendulkar seat. He sat in...
