Kane Williamson and Mitchell Santner's brother Elliot are both involved in rival start-ups hoping to bring abdominal protection up to speed with the modern game.

Both will be worn in New Zealand's Test against England at Lord's this week.

And they are through to the semi-final after a dominant display in the third set. What resilience!

Not sure why this free fall but Paula and Bea have the habit of absolutely smashing it in the third set

Yes, the weather was not conducive for green pitches, but Pakistan could have rolled out proper flat surfaces, which would have benefitted their batters and bowlers alike. All three matches were played on different surfaces so producing them would not have been a hassle at all.

This is exactly the issue which Hanif Malik, now former Pakistan batting coach, had highlighted when I interviewed him during the PSL. Pakistan want to win EVERY bilateral series, instead of building something sustainable and long-term.

Pakistan rolled out square-turners for the three ODIs to maximise their advantage against Australia

Shaheen Afridi defended his team's strategy after Pakistan won the series 2-1

“All dreams have meaning”

My dream:

[Ahsan Iftikhar Nagi @ahsannagi]

Did they display the analysis of Labuschagne and Green's dismissals on the big screen?

[Ahsan Iftikhar Nagi @ahsannagi]

Ten overs in and we have not had tapal tea yet. Where did they go?

[Ahsan Iftikhar Nagi @ahsannagi]

@HamzaMughal321 @TheRealPCB That made me laugh. But, cannot be expecting seam-friendly conditions in Pakistan this time of the year.

[Ahsan Iftikhar Nagi @ahsannagi]

Pakistan expect the pitch to turn as they have named four spinners in the XI. Arafat Minhas to debut. Shaheen and Haris are the only pacers in the side. Shadab Khan to play his first ODI since 2023 WC #PAKvAUS

Shaheen has said that the fast bowlers are thinking about how they can increase the pace and the NCA is devising plans to get the best out of them #PAKvAUS

Gonna wait until tomorrow to get my car tank refuelled now

[Ahsan Iftikhar Nagi @ahsannagi]

Shadab and Naseem are the other experienced players to return. Shadab last played an ODI in 2023 WC. Agha named as Shaheen's deputy.

The conditions for batting have not been this ideal throughout the series

[Ahsan Iftikhar Nagi @ahsannagi]

Not sure if you can be bowling anywhere other than the stumps with 125kph pace

[Ahsan Iftikhar Nagi @ahsannagi]

@x3_app I wanted a Bea/Paula v Sofia/Claudia final, especially after the last week’s semi final in Asuncion.

First final for Delfi in Argentina, I understand? She is going to struggle to sleep tonight 😆
