Season 15, Episode 28: The southern Test season is done, with Australia leaving New Zealand, while England are also leaving India. That doesn't mean that cricket stops in Zimbabwe, with the Mashonaland Eagles turning in one of the most unlikely scorecards against... Durham? Yes. Meanwhile, Shane Watson might just be the next coach of Pakistan. The Bangladesh-Sri Lanka grudge continues, Ireland might cancel their series against Australia, and the last Shield round begins.
