  • Wisden Cricketers Almanack
    01.21 118 3rd proof FIVE CRICKETERS OF THE YEAR The Five Cricketers of the Year represent a tradition that dates back in Wisden to 1889, making this the oldest individual award in cricket. The Five are picked by the editor, and the selection is based, primarily but not exclusively, on the players’ influence on the previous English season. No one can be chosen more than once. A list of past Cricketers of the Year appears on page 1508. sNB. Cross-ref Hashim Amla NEIL MANTHORP Hashim Amla enjoyed one of the most productive tours of England ever seen. In all three formats he was prolific, top-scoring in eight of his 11 international innings. His triple-century in the First Test at The Oval was as career-defining as it was nation-defining: he was the first South African to reach the landmark. It was an epic, and the fact that it laid the platform for a famous series win marked it out for eternal fame. By the time he added another century, in the Third Test at Lord’s, he had edged past even Jacques Kallis as the wicket England craved most. Amla produced yet another hundred in the one-day series, at Southampton, prompting coach Gary Kirsten to purr: “The pitch was extremely awkward, the bowling very good. To make 150 out of 287 rates it very highly, probably in the top three one-day innings for South Africa.” Accolades kept coming his way as the year progressed; by the end, he had scored 1,950 runs in all internationals, at an average of nearly 63.

  • South Africa and Sri Lanka Will Visit for This Summer's Vodafone Test
    PREVIEW SUMMER OF CRICKET South Africa and Sri Lanka will visit for this summer’s Vodafone Test matches against Australia, and recent history suggests some intense action WORDS BY RICHARD ASHER 12 VODAFONE TEST SERIES Program VODAFONE TEST SERIES Program 13 PREVIEW SUMMER OF CRICKET Senior batsman Mike Hussey was in the runs last summer, making 150 not out in Sydney t’s that time of year again. ’Tis the season to find any excuse to get out of the office and spend a long, lazy day in the sun. It’s the time for amateur selection committees Ito convene around every barbecue in the land. The moment for dusting off the Baggy Green, white kit and red Kookaburra. Test match cricket is back. This summer promises to be a special one, as Australia host South Africa and then Sri Lanka in back-to-back three-match Vodafone Test series. It’s a final home dress rehearsal before the Ashes in 2013, but it’s too early for Australia to think about England just yet. They’ve got the world’s top Test side and some wily subcontinental opposition to worry about first. Australia have had a quiet Test schedule following their memorable 4-0 demolition of India last summer. Their only assignment since then came against the West Indies in the Caribbean, where they overcame a resilient home side 2-0. Michael Clarke’s inspired first- innings declaration when 46 runs behind in the rain-affected Barbados opener set up a memorable win for his team, who went on to take another hard-fought victory in the third Test at Roseau.

    3/20/2018 India vs South Africa Test: What Virat Kohli must answer India vs South Africa Test: What Virat Kohli must answer In the era of fake news, the fakest news may be that India is the best Test team in the world. SPORTS | Long-form | 12-01-2018 Print | Close RAHUL JAYARAM @rajayaram In the Newlands Test that ended on Monday (January 8), India were, despite their first innings batting collapse, in a good position to scare South Africa. In the second half of the Test, India’s bowlers get them back into a fighting position, and their vaunted batting line-up was to face a bowling line-up on testing conditions. Without Dale Steyn. India responded by invoking the history of Indian batting in overseas conditions: Triggering the psychic memory and muscle memory of collapse. Only a couple of batsmen showed the technique and temperament to face genuine pace bowling on a wicket where getting onto the front foot was far from easy. The familiarity of the Indian response must be a matter of disgrace for Indian cricket authorities, managers and the selection board. This tour was long scheduled and it wasn’t unimaginable to expect bouncy wickets. In the fourth innings, India did not even put a fight.
