The overreaction
Jimmy Neesham is not impressed by all the outrage surrounding the DRS reprieve that Dean Elgar got in Cape Town. Virat Kohli and other India players used the stump mic to express their displeasure over the decision, particularly targeting the broadcaster, and social media users naturally weighed in as well.
6 foot 4 spinner bowls a flighted delivery that hits a batsman on the knee roll with a big stride on one of the bounciest pitches in the world. Ball goes over the stumps.

The birthday treat
India coach Rahul Dravid loves chocolates, so it's nice that he got a chocolate cake (with plenty of trimmings!) for his birthday, on the first day of the Cape Town Test.
Birthday wishes to our very own Head Coach Rahul Dravid

Stuart Broad and James Anderson relief at saving the Sydney Test
Nine down and saving the Test - the nerves show on the faces of Stuart Broad and James Anderson at the end of the Sydney Test.
The commentary wizards
When Ricky Ponting is on commentary, we're totally tuned in.
"Can he just get something to explode out of the footmark? That's what he's trying to do, he's getting it wide outside the off stump, catch a footmark...

Steven Finn also knows what he's talking about!
Still unplayable
Even from a gentle jog and at 45, Brett Lee is not easy to face.
Not genius?
Fielders surrounding a batter in a T20 - Ravindra Jadeja is not impressed.
