    ***Official*** Bangladesh in Sri Lanka 2017

    I always rated Kudal Mendis. I like the look of him. He had something about him during that Australia test innings. He looks like the real deal. Pitch looks easy to bat on it seems. Bangladesh were poor. Roy looked the best of all the bowlers today. I really like the look of him. He should be...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    Australia had a great chance to go 2-0 up. Now India will bounce back. They were not even required to score 200 even. Only a few of their batsman know how to play in these conditions. The fact is they are not good enough. I don't know how you can just fold for just scoring over a 100 runs. The...

    ***Official*** Bangladesh in Sri Lanka 2017

    Sri Lanka haven't lost a test match at home for a long while now, so a draw will be an achievement for Bangladesh. Most likely the pitch will produce yet another result in Sri Lanka, so toss will be crucial for both sides. It will be close, but I'm still expecting Sri Lanka to win this 2-0. ODIs...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    I heard the second test will be a sporting one, so that she be fun. If is then Australia will be eyeing for another win. They are probably high on confidence right now. But then again, people also need to understand that all their main batsman bar Steve Smith and Renshaw struggled to produce...

    ***Official*** Bangladesh in Sri Lanka 2017

    Hard to predict this series. Sri Lanka are favourites. It's good to have the Fizz return to the side again in full-flow to. It depends on what the pitch is like though. Ideally, I prefer a spinning pitch as it will give both sides a stiff of a chance to claim victory. Herath is clearly the best...

    ***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

    I'm still expecting South Africa to win this series. They are one of the few sides that has that x factor about them. New Zealand will be up for it. It could still go either way though. It has been a great series. The test series looks far more interesting since South Africa's pace attack looks...

    ***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

    Evenly matched sides. Final game will finally prove whether New Zealand are actually unstoppable at home. New Zealand are much hard to beat at tests then in limited overs I feel.

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    If Australia can win the 2nd test then they can't lose the series which will be an achievement in itself. I'm amazed just how much test Cricket India has played lately. Usually, they are known to play plenty of ODI Cricket. I thought ODI was their favourite format.

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    India were probably overconfident. Australia played very well, and clearly deserved the win, but really, all their batsman bar Steve Smith struggled. I know Starc did okay with the bat, but he's not really a proper batsman like the others that have failed. The 2nd test is the most important test...

    Trent Boult - Quickest to 100 ODI Wickets?

    Even if he does, Fizz will break both Boult and Starc record of quickest to 100 ODI wickets. It seems fast bowlers today are just as good as compared to those back in the 90s. I remember Boult was solely used for tests only at the beginning. They didn't use his for ODIs because they thought he...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    I still expect India to pull this off. They were just complacent against the spinner, and probably didn't do their homework like they were suppose to. I don't understand how batsman can struggle against someone such as Hazlewood: the guy has no pace, and not much variations in his repertoire. He...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    Warner and Smith are overrated. Until they can play on turning pitches, they are simply known to excel on flat and fast pitches. Even then, someone such as Steve Smith can not play on any pitches unless it is a road. I still rate the likes of Root and Kane much higher than someone such as Smith...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    Australia struggled. India will for sure rack up a score of more than 400. If they can score another 50 runs which is unlikely since they have 1 wicket remaining, they may still be in for a shout, but the problem is that they have no choice but the bowl extremely well, and have to bat even more...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    4 and 5 match series for tests should be scrapped bar the Ashes. It's good because interest levels will be maintained. It will be one of the biggest milestones in cricketing history if Australia wins this series. India has destroyed all the teams thus far.

    ***Official*** South Africa in New Zealand 2017

    South Africa are full of class. Have always been one of the top sides in World Cricket over the past 20 years along with Australia. These 2 have been the most stand-out teams. New Zealand are nothing special.

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    Easy 4-0 win for India. Teams such as Australia and England should be restricted to playing 3 tests in the subcontinent let alone India. Australia's batting looks the best compared to the 4 sides that have toured in the subcontinent. Realistically, only Pakistan can take on and beat India, but...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    A lot will be expected of Smith and Warner to deliver. I'm not expecting Kawaja to do anything on this tour though I will be extremely surprised if he does better than expected. It's Australia's bowling attack which concerns me, as they don't have any spinners in the class of Bangladesh's.

    *Official* Bangladesh in India 2017

    It was actually a good game though if Bangladesh applied themselves a bit more, they could've quite easily drawn this. Mushfiqur's poor captaincy and keeping was probably the difference between the sides in the end. I strongly urge Mushfiqur to give up the gloves and captaincy: his batting is...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    I don't see how Australia can be any different to England, New Zealand and Bangladesh in these conditions. They may have some world class bats, but their spin options still look bleak. 3 tests should've been the max.

    *Official* Bangladesh in India 2017

    Not surprised. Great day for India; a poor day for Bangladesh. If Bangladesh played with a bit of sense, they could've easily picked up another 2 wickets, and had India reduced below 280 despite being a slow placid surface. I'd be surprised if India doesn't manage to win this test. India may not...
