I can see us getting a 0-0 against the Aussies in The Ashes next year. It'll be easy to do so.

Notr sure how much I believe the then managers contention that they were ready to come out to play but were only delaying their return.
From what I remember watching at the time they had plenty of opportunity to return before the match was forfeited.
Have to say this is disgraceful. Could never understand how Pakistan got away so lightly with their behaviour that day. An umpire made a decision they were entitled to do under the laws of the game, and they didnt like it so refused to play. Pathetic. They were far too sensitive over the whole ball tampering thing, that it smacks of they 'doth protest too much'. To now have the result reversed is farcical. Would the Black Caps have been entitled to have walked off after the run out incident the other day? Would a team be entitled to walk off if a catch is deemd not to have carried when they thought it did. This sends a poor message out over the behaviour of Pakistan that day and does nothing to prevent the misplaced indignation they showed that day.
