| Cricinfo is reporting "Match drawn". The captains must have pulled the pin? |

Haz probably 'won' the bowl-off.

'Having spent most of the tour match observing things from mid-off or the team viewing area - he did not bat - Paine mounted a cogent counter-argument to the long held view that wicketkeeper captains had it tougher than their batting contemporaries.
"I didn't really enjoy it, it was a bit boring," Paine said. "It's different because you don't see what the ball is doing. People have said in the past that being a wicketkeeper and a captain might be a disadvantage. Now that I've done it a bit more, I see it as more of an advantage. I can see ball movement, I can see or feel when a bowler's getting tired from the way he's hitting my gloves.
"And I can see exactly where a batsman is moving to, or what mark he's batting on and stuff like that. So I found it a little bit harder in this game, when you can't see exactly what's happening. You're relying on other people's information a lot, I found. It was nice to have a bit of a spell from wicketkeeping but I'm looking forward to getting back behind them."'

But...
Wade: "So I felt confident in my game coming in, I'm at the age now where I know my game better than I did back then and playing as a specialist batter makes a difference as well, it takes a lot of pressure off you, you can chill a little bit more in the field and you're not concentrating for that long stretch of time like you do as a wicketkeeper. I've found that really good for my game."

Thanks K; looks like he is the Goldsack of Australian cricket then...  |
His social-media posts may be worth keeping an eye on from time to time.
e.g. it sounds like he wants more DRS control:
'Aleem Dar says a shot was played therefore not-out, Aussies... “ahh, we can’t review it then as DRS will show impact outside”.
But, surely the third umpire can review the replay & overturn the ‘shot played’ being an incorrect decision too? #Ashes'
