What do you do when you're down 0-4 going into the last match of a series? Zimbabwe may not even have the answer to that question. They pushed Sri Lanka in games three and four , but there's a difference between pushing and winning. A cursory look at Zimbabwe's totals so far - 127, 67, 166, 146 - inspires little confidence that they will improve upon that after four losses. A five-match series against Sri Lanka was the most appetising contest Zimbabwe have had in months but unfortunately the results have been far from that. After a 5-0 whitewash at the hands of Pakistan earlier this year, the home side face a similar predicament. As for Sri Lanka, only a fool would have doubted a series victory before the team landed in Zimbabwe. The duo of Muttiah Muralitharan and Ajantha Mendis troubled a famed Indian batting order, so it is not surprising that they have denied Zimbabwe runs. Mendis has taken 15 wickets at 7.06, including six in the last match, and Murali si...

Where now for Bangladesh? It is a question that has hung like a shadow over their development ever since they made their Test debut in 2000, yet as the years roll on, there is little evidence of improvement. Their form guide, a string of "Ls", reads like a Welsh railway station, and the first Test against South Africa last week was a case in point. Encouraging performances from their bowlers contrasted starkly with an insipid effort from Bangladesh's batsmen who, in the second innings, folded like a pack of cards to lose their last seven wickets for 79. No wonder Mickey Arthur, the South Africa coach, is concerned about his side's build-up to the Australia series next month. Bangladesh's inadequacies aside, South Africa had their own problems, most notably Morne Morkel, who conceded nearly seven-runs-per-over in the first innings, spraying the ball with alarming regularity. At the other end, however, South Africa have Dale Steyn who is rapidly becoming...

A series of contrasting fortunes is dead in terms of a contest but there's plenty for both sides to play for. India, with a comfortable 4-0 lead, will test their bench strength while aiming to avoid complacency as they chase a clean sweep and keep up the momentum ahead of the Tests. They have never won five games on the trot in a two-team contest - against England in 2006 they won four before rain interrupted their run. England have been getting better with every defeat and will, as captain Kevin Pietersen said, need to "keep their chins up". Pietersen wants them to come "back firing on all cylinders" and he can take heart from a Cuttack factoid: England lost the inaugural ODI, in 1982, at the Barabati Stadium, but in three matches since, they have emerged victors - one of those, though, was against Pakistan. Pietersen's appointment as captain worked instant wonders for the team during the home summer - they won one Test and four consecutive ODI...

The pressure is on England. An other bad day and the series will be lost. Worse, they need their good day - day-night, actually for the forth ODI will be played under lights - to conicide with a poor one for India. Which, any way you look at it, is asking for a lot. Fro, this is not an Indian team that depends on any one player to deliver the goods. While the batting has been well served by pace and spin, both by fulland part-timers.

The 19-year-old Southee was the key with his impressive swing and clever variations. He was well supported by Iain O'Brien , who nipped the ball off the seam, and Chris Martin , who nagged on a testing line, while even the slow-mediums of Grant Elliott and Jesse Ryder were dangerous. Australia's fast men could be equally successful on the second day but it wasn't quite what the fans expected at the "Gabbatoir", where Australia have not lost a Test since 1988. The saving grace for Australia was the effort of Clarke , who was noticeably thinner having just overcome a virus he picked up in India, but was strong enough to hold together Australia's innings while wickets tumbled around him. He added 54 with the last two batsmen, Mitchell Johnson and Stuart Clark, and the resistance was enough to steal a fraction of the momentum from New Zealand . Clarke had his share of luck - edges flew wide of the slips, uppishly played shots fell short of fielde...

Potchefstroom: With a little more composure Bangladesh could have claimed the Twenty20 in Johannesburg, but some rash strokeplay and desperate running proved their downfall. Herschelle Gibbs opt out from ODI series. South African fast bowler Dale Steyn will pose a major danger to Bangladesh during the one-day. Rusty South Africa aim to find top gear Pitch Report: Potchefstroom has the reputation for being a batsman's ground, but because matches here usually involve a lower-ranked team it can also produced small team totals. The seamers may find some extra help when the floodlights come on and the daytime is set to be warm and sunny, with an outside chance of a thunderstorm brewing up later on.
