Match Coverage

All Match News

  • 'Everything inside me didn't want to give it away'

    It was a decision he took seven years ago that brought Faf du Plessis the heroic status he enjoys in South Africa today

  • To sub, or not to sub?

    Game-changing injuries during Australia's joust with South Africa have aided the case for substitutes in Test cricket. Once a taboo, the concept is gaining momentum

  • Faf celebrated in the land he denied

    Faf du Plessis' epic fourth-innings hundred, which lasted nearly eight hours in the heat and humidity of Adelaide, is one of the greatest match-saving innings

  • Faf wears an apron

    Gideon Haigh joins Jarrod Kimber to discuss the great Faf, Imran's heavy hand, the end for Quiney, fair pitches, Rory's comeback and Josh's free hotel rooms

  • Australia count the cost

    Michael Clarke has a tough task to pick up his players in time for the Perth Test and his bowling attack may need to be reshaped after the efforts in Adelaide

Injury alert

When we toss the coin [in the next game], I will tell you if everything is fine.
