The tale of two balls, one winner and a piece of history

The tale of two balls, one winner and a piece of history

With two balls remaining at Lord's, Nuwan Pradeep was saved by an inside edge (and the DRS). A little over a week later, with two balls remaining at Leeds, James Anderson fended a bouncer to decide the series

Mathews record invites comparisons with The Don

Mathews record invites comparisons with The Don

One of the great Test innings by Angelo Mathews, typical of his outstanding record as captain, has put Sri Lanka on the brink of a famous win

Boycott remains a priceless voice

Boycott remains a priceless voice

Cricket is still the fire in Geoff Boycott's belly. His passion is undimmed and each moment of each day is watched, analysed and forensically thought through before the burst of opinion is unleashed

England's reticent champion

England's reticent champion

To be playing a 100th Test at the age of 32 is a walloping achievement. Better still, the very best of "Belly" may be yet to come

Sangakkara a maestro in convoluted drama

Sangakkara a maestro in convoluted drama

In a match to highlight all that is great about Test cricket Kumar Sangakarra showed his class and without him Sri Lanka were done for

Moeen, Jordan make bright beginnings

Moeen, Jordan make bright beginnings

Much was new about England at Lord's - from personnel, to batting order, to slip catchers - but not everything is clear about their thinking

Fifty-over cricket shouldn't become an afterthought

Fifty-over cricket shouldn't become an afterthought

One-day internationals are the filling in cricket's sandwich, but the game's rulers are giving it a dull taste

Players must police their game

Players must police their game

National boards need to create an environment where open discussion about dodgy behaviour and whistle-blowing is encouraged

Cook must bring the joy back

Cook must bring the joy back

As England make a fresh start under a new regime, it's up to the captain to find a way to make his players cherish the national cap once again

Anxiety and torment

Anxiety and torment

Cricket - batting specifically - defines Jonathan Trott, which makes his continued suffering all the more painful

The win they waited 18 years for

The win they waited 18 years for

More power to Sri Lanka, whose cricketers have again reinforced what the game means to their nation

Selectors must be open-minded and open-armed

Selectors must be open-minded and open-armed

Picking a team is a tricky job, and recently England have botched it more often than not. It helps to have a captain who understands the importance of star players

Not many will forget this unwavering leader who set the agenda during South Africa's most challenging era

Steyn's spell from hell

Steyn's spell from hell

No other bowler in the world today could have won the match in Port Elizabeth so suddenly and with such effect

The Mitchell Johnson effect

The Mitchell Johnson effect

Whole batting line-ups have been laid to waste by the raw pace and confidence of Australia's fast-bowling leader

The end of the Pietersen project

The end of the Pietersen project

Leaving a series of disgruntled teams in his wake, Kevin Pietersen has only himself to blame for the sorry end to his England career

Not just Cook's cross to bear

Not just Cook's cross to bear

England need to look for the maturity, honesty and lightness of being Australia have demonstrated, and they must all step up to the task

Australia's success a testament to immense will

Australia's success a testament to immense will

The 5-0 scoreline speaks of a desperation so strong that players might have imploded had success not been achieved

It's the application, not the talent

It's the application, not the talent

Rarely have we seen turnaround like the one Australia have just effected, but the gulf between the two teams is not as vast as the scoreline might suggest

No hunger for Swann and England

No hunger for Swann and England

They have lost the desperation to win and Australia were quick to sniff it out
