Another case of the variable Australian line.

The placement of that line only shifts when someone gets caught with sandpaper

I heard that Warner was last playing in some low Canadian T20 league?

You mean Carribean, not Canadian.

It would indeed be lowly, if it had been Canadian .

Didn't even know Canada had a tournament - that was before the current CPL I see.

ODI and especially Tests are already negatively affected by all these mushroom T20 leagues.

Stillborn CSA late to the party as usual.

Snow cricket ?

Yes but that 'snow' cricket match is held by some prestigious cricket club in Switzerland. Players in that match are there by invite only.

Yup.. Canada is not big on cricket. But I know some South Africans that immigrated who play/played cricket in the US and Canada.

I noticed that when some sides tour RSA, CSA is not using the regular venues eg. Sri Lanka last season. Looking at this seasons schedule, when Zimbabwe is coming, this also the case. Any reason for this?

Cost and interest.

You'll only get half a Wanderers if Zim plays there.

Mushfiqur Rahim and Mustafizur Rahman lift Bangladesh into Asia Cup final

This was no full-strength Bangladesh, but they made up for it with calculated, intelligent cricket, and an understanding that, in these conditions, they could play to their strengths.

Bangladesh 239 (Mushfiqur 99, Mithun 60, Junaid 4-19) beat Pakistan 202 for 9 (Imam 83, Mustafizur 4-43) by 37 runs
