• Bangladesh v Pakistan, 2nd Test, Mirpur, 5th day Abdur Rehman turned the Mirpur Test in Pakistan's favour with three quick strikes, before the batsmen secured a seven-wicket win. Pakistan capped off a fruitful year in cricket by completing a clean sweep against Bangladesh in Mirpur on a drama-filled day that showcased the unpredictability of Test cricket. Pakistan 470 (Taufeeq 130, Misbah 70, Azhar 57, Akmal 53, Shakib 6-82) and 107 for 3 beat Bangladesh 338 (Shakib 144, Nafees 97) and 234 (Nasir 79, Mushfiqur 53, Rehman 4-51) by seven wickets. • India in Australia 2011-12 Ben Hilfenhaus has lifted himself out of the rut of predictability that made him look so innocuous during the Ashes last summer, and will be a far more versatile performer should he bowl against India's batsmen on Boxing Day. Ed Cowan, the Tasmania opening batsman currently among the runs, has been picked for Australia's Boxing Day Test team to face India and will be joined in the top three by Shaun Marsh provided the West Australian can prove his fitness. Cowan and Marsh replaced Phillip Hughes and Usman Khawaja from the XI that was beaten by New Zealand in Hobart, with Shane Watson and Ryan Harris unable to be chosen due to continued fitness complaints. • Sri Lanka in South Africa 2011-12. Although South Africa crushed Sri Lanka in less than three days in Centurion, not all their players turned in sensational performances. Two that did not were opening batsman Jacques Rudolph and fast bowler Morne Morkel, and they have travelled to Durban, the venue for the second Test, earlier than their team-mates to practice. Rudolph, Morkel working to improve. Left-arm seamer Lonwabo Tsotsobe is expected to be added to the South African Test squad for the remaining two matches against Sri Lanka. Seam bowler Nuwan Kulasekara won't be joining Sri Lanka's Test squad in South Africa and instead the uncapped Kanishka Alvitigala will fly out along with Dhammika Prasad ahead of the second Test in Durban.
