sorry for zero updates L Australia won by 48 runs and took the last 8 wickets in the last 2 hours of play. Lyon took 7 in the innings and 12 for the match, in a man of the match performance. Michael Clarke might have played his last test match for Australia, pulled his right hamstring while fielding a ball. Kohli made twin tons. Vijay made 99.

NZ to win tonight I reckon. No Misbah leaves Pakistan with Younis being the only reliable person there in the batting department. Why Afridi is captianing insteada Younis is beyond me, I suppose Younis doesn't want to? Afridi is far from the greatest cricketing mind Pakistan has to offer...

He has according to cricinfo:

Looks like his average was abysmal as captain, but then again his overall average is pretty damn bad for a specialist batsman playing over 200 ODIs- 31.51. Only 6 centuries in all those matches too- surprising considering he's a truly classy test batsman. I suppose with a record like that he mightn't deserve captaincy as much as I thought but then again his personality seems very suited to it.

At the very least Pakistan should be grooming some youngster to captain when Misbah retires. I just don't see the logic behind Afridi.
