Big picture The time for talking is over. We’ve been through the context and the controversies and now, we can get to the cricket. Come 10.20am on Saturday in Queensland, all eyes will be on bat versus ball, or if we’re honest, maybe just ball. In stark contrast to all the Bazballing our Test-cricket-loving eyes
It says a lot that, even given how things have gone in Ben Stokes’ first nine games in charge as full-time Test captain, No.10 will carry a unique excitement. Rehan Ahmed will become the youngest debutant for the men’s side when he takes to the field on Saturday for the third and final Test of
At 40 years of age and with 177 caps, missing Test matches is not something James Anderson has time for. Yet as he sits in Karachi’s Movenpick hotel on Friday, a day out from the third and final Test against Pakistan, he is at peace with the fact he is sitting this one out. The
Pat Cummins has indicated a greater bowling workload for Cameron Green against South Africa and the allrounder may be given an opportunity to get into the attack early.

Dean Elgar believes there could be moments where the contest between Australia and South Africa over the next three weeks becomes “feisty” but both he and his opposite number Pat Cummins are confident it won’t come near the levels of the ugly 2018 series.

Being four down for less than 100 has been a recurrent theme for Bangladesh’s batting line-up this year. In response to India’s 404 in Chattogram, Bangladesh slumped further to 97 for 6 and ended the second day on 133 for 8. A rejigged top order had given Bangladesh some hope, but it evaporated quickly, leaving
