Matches: New Zealand v Pakistan at Abu Dhabi
Series/Tournaments: Pakistan v New Zealand ODI Series
Teams: New Zealand Pakistan
Who needs the captaincy when you are in this kind of form? Shahid Afridi's supposed desire to lead Pakistan in ODIs and his rift with captain Younis Khan has dominated the chat in Pakistan since the Champions Trophy, and his all-round performance tonight to dismantle New Zealand - along with the captain's duck - will do nothing to quell further talk. But why burden yourself with leadership hassles when you can turn in the kind of man-mountain performance Afridi did, first resuscitating Pakistan from a disastrous start with the bat and then nearly taking a hat-trick as his side romped home to a 138-run win at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

West Indies cricket in new crisis

The first West Indies-Bangladesh Test match, scheduled to begin on Thursday, threatened to be a non-starter as the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and its players were locked in an impasse over a wide range of issues.
The crux of the matter seemed to be the fact that the players had undertaken the last four series without central contracts and were unwilling to play a fifth till the matter was resolved.
