It was a great win, really happy for Leach getting 5 wickets.

All over in Abu Dhabi with Pakistan only 4 down needing 29 to win, then they lost 5-18. Azhar Ali took them to within 4 runs before being given LBW. A review followed which showed the ball was just clipping off stump so The Kiwis won

I really hope not, Bancroft's ban is almost over and will feel agrieved if he serves nearly all his ban and the others will have theirs reduced by more, very unfair in my book.

I can see why they'd want them back for domestic cricket and there is some case for that but their international ban should stick.

Watch the sideshow proceed as CA are not the brainiest bunch of people even with the clean out.

Wow Cricket Australia has made a decision that the bans will stay for all 3 of them after the players association tried to have them removed or at least have them return to Shield Cricket early.

Easy in the end but a decent last wicket stand from Sri Lanka.
