A Day For Bowlers In Dubai

A combination of sloppy stroke play and helpful bowling conditions turned the first day of the final Test between Pakistan and England into something of a farce as 16 wickets fell for the sum total of just 203 runs on day one in the desert.

Pakistan began the day well, by winning the toss and choosing to bat, but, as far as their batsmen were concerned, it was downhill all the way from there as Taufeeq Umar fell for a duck in the first over to an inswinger from Jimmy Anderson.

India Finally End Australia Drought

India finally emerged victorious for the first time on their disastrous tour of Australia with a comfortable eight-wicket triumph in the second Twenty20 International at the MCG.

The success of the tourists' run chase was never in doubt as Gautam Gambhir batted throughout their innings to end unbeaten on 56.

Australia Women End Series With A Win

Australia Women ended their series of matches against New Zealand's Women on a winning note at the MCG. In a match played prior to the men's Twenty20 against India at the same venue, Australia's ladies completed a 4-1 success in the same format to go with a 1-0 success in the Rose Bowl One-Day Internationals.

Zimbabwe's Batsmen Fail Again

Zimbabwe's top-order crumbled once again in Dunedin as the tourists followed their dismal performance in the first Test at Napier with one almost as bad in the opening One-Day International.

Chasing a modest New Zealand total of 249 to win, Zimbabwe lost three wickets - two of them to Kyle Mills (three for 26) - for just 15 runs at the start of their run chase and never really recovered, in spite of a buccaneering 58 from their captain Brendan Taylor.

Tremlett To Miss Sri Lanka Series

Chris Tremlett faces a spell of at least three months on the sidelines after specialists recommended that he have an operation on his back. The decision means that he will miss England's two Test matches in Sri Lanka at the end of March and beginning of April, as well as the first month of the county season with Surrey, meaning that he will struggle to be match fit for the start of England's Test summer against West Indies at the end of May.

Thanks to everyone who had a go at our the Cricket World 2011 Quiz - split into two sections, it proved to be a challenge but there were some outstanding performances. Well done to Nitin Agarwal who scored 11/12 in the first quiz and Gaurav Gandhi who managed 7/8 in the second quiz.
Sachin Tendulkar remained the man to beat in the 2011 Cricket World Awards - as voted for by Cricket World viewers, listeners and followers. Following his dual success in being crowned Player of the Year and Batsman of the Year in 2010, the 'Little Master', held on to the main award by gaining 19 percent of the total votes cast, although he did have to share the Batsman of the Year gong with team-mate Virender Sehwag.

Player Of The Week

It is from the wreck of England's disastrous second innings in Abu Dhabi that this week's award winner emerges. Abdur Rehman - a previously unheralded and underrated left-arm spinner from Sialkot in the north-eastern Pakistani province of Punjab - took six wickets for just 25 runs in England's back-footed capitulation of 72, and, in doing so, brought the tourists' pretensions of word domination sharply into focus.
