Player of the match
Colin Munro | Australia
Me and Maxi have a bet going – if one of us gets a 50, we go to KFC. So it is his treat today. Nice to have the two Aussie boys back (Marnus and Khawaja), they can hopefully go on and enjoy their Test cricket when the season starts. One of those days where everything I tried came off, I tried targeting the short boundary today.
