    Greg Chappell has expressed the opinion that it was unfortunate that his differences with Sourav Ganguly were made public

  • Left-arm swing and minnow-bashing

    Sri Lanka's high percentage of matches against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, and left-arm seamers against them

  • Pathan: 'It has been a wonderful series for me'

    Irfan Pathan's wonderful bowling, in which he took 21 wickets for India in their two-Test series against Zimbabwe, earned him the Man-of-the-Match award, as well as man of the series

  • Future in a foreign field

    With an unwanted monkey off their backs, the challenge for Greg Chappell and his wards is now to start winning consistently away from home

  • Pathan stars in series win
