A deal has been reached to resolve Australian cricket's protracted pay dispute, paving the way for the nation's professional players to be re-contracted and for this month's scheduled Test tour to Bangladesh to proceed as planned.
The in-principle agreement was signed after a final round of face-to-face negotiations between Cricket Australia Chief Executive James Sutherland and his Australian Cricket Association counterpart Alistair Nicholson in Melbourne this morning.
Good news. Australia has a cricket team again and The Ashes are saved!

Fortunately, there was no need for a fifth day in the Test Match as South Africa from being in a good position of 163-3, succumbed to 202 all out and England won by 177 runs.
Moeen........19.5 - 1 - 69 - 5
Anderson.......14 - 7 - 16 - 3
Yorkshire crushed by Essex inside two days at Scarborough, with the hosts 25-5 in the first innings and 37-6 in the second.
Mohammed Amir finished with career-best figures of 10 wickets for the loss of only 72 runs, and Essex's lead at the top of the Championship is 46 points.
Well, the ECB have dropped Keaton Jennings and Liam Dawson and replaced them with Mark Stoneman and Mason Crane, Chris Woakes comes in for Steven Finn.
Should the ECB have not picked Jennings and Dawson for the South Africa series?
I also note we are trying another spinner. I thought Dawson was the best spinner in the country..................
If indeed he is, then Abandon All Hope.
day/night test, pink ball - worlds gone mad.

Varun Chopra has decided he doesn't fancy much running for Essex in the T20 Blast against Kent at Chelmsford.
He's clubbed 84 off 37 balls so far, with seven 6s and five 4s. The fifth over went 6-6-6-4-4-4.
Kent had already scored a record opening partnership of 207, with Joe Dernly scoring 127 off 66 balls.Way to go to emulate Lyth's 161 off 73 for Yorkshire tonight! Hope Chopra doesn't as Kent are on the receiving end. Lyth might be reminding the England selectors of his availability as Cook's opening partner.
Cracking start by Cook/Root in the first Day/Nighter. Shame about Stoneman.
What were the Windies doing not taking the new ball?
