The New Zealand Breakers have suspended guard Corey Webster after he was charged with assault following an early morning incident at an Auckland bar on Wednesday.The NBL club said the 28-year-old would miss Fridays game against the Illawarra Hawks after breaching team and club values.General manager Dillon Boucher said Webster would vigorously defend himself against the charge and the club would let the court process run its course.But he said Webster did not have team interests at heart by being out after midnight when recovering from last weekends road trip to Cairns and preparing for Fridays home match.Corey has also breached our values in the way in which he has communicated with the club about the incident, Boucher said.In our view Corey has let himself, his teammates and the club down in the way in which he has handled the situation.Boucher said the club would continue to support the New Zealand international and would assist the police and the courts.Webster has been bailed and is expected to appear in court on Monday.Websters arrest comes five years after he was sacked by the club for using synthetic cannabis.He served a one-year ban from the sport in 2011 after testing positive for the drug and it followed him testing positive for cannabis while playing for the Harbour Heat in the domestic competition.He was re-signed by the Breakers in 2012 on a three-year deal and last year signed another three-year deal with the four-time NBL champions.

Match factsNovember 6-10, 2016, Harare Start time 10.00 am (0800 GMT)Big PictureIn July, Zimbabwe hosted New Zealand for two Tests in Bulawayo. Considering this is only the third time in 11 years that theyre playing four Tests in a season at home, Sri Lankas tour ought to have provided continuity. Instead, the players were involved, not for the first time, in a protest with Zimbabwe Cricket over non-payment of match fees. When matters were temporarily resolved in September, the board was grappling with issues surrounding their annual audit which was yet to be submitted to the ICC more than three months after it was due.That delayed the appointment of a new head coach. When Heath Streak finally took over from Makhaya Ntini, who briefly held the role after Dav Whatmores sacking, he had a little over three weeks to prepare a side that that was once again short on cricket in the lead-up to a major series, with the domestic season yet to be finalised. Considering all this, Zimbabwes performance in the first Test, also their 100th overall, in Harare was seen as a massive improvement even though they eventually lost by 225 runs.They batted close to 200 overs in the Test - something theyve done just twice in the last five years - and took it into the final hour before Sri Lanka dug deep into their reserves to eke out a win. The resistance in both innings was led by Graeme Cremer, the captain, who followed-up his maiden Test century with a gritty 43 in the second dig. It somewhat made up for the top orders inability to build on starts, something the team management would have taken note of.The one aspect that has always been encouraging - even in Zimbabwes cricketing decline over the last decade-and-a-half - has been the fielding. That came a cropper in Harare - as many as seven catches were dropped in the first innings. Their bowling effort, typically restrictive, was led by debutant medium-pacer Carl Mumba, who took four wickets in the second innings. The other bowlers were largely ineffective. Therefore, a shot at equalling the series seems far-fetched for Zimbabwe, although walking away with a draw is possible, like they showed last week.For Sri Lanka, time spent in the middle here will take them a step closer to narrowing down on their combination for the bigger battles in South Africa next month. Strong performances from Kusal Perera and Upul Tharanga will add to a healthy selection dilemma once Dinesh Chandimal and Angelo Mathews, the designated captain, return from injuries.Rangana Heraths delayed declaration in the second innings may have been scrutinised had Zimbabwe managed to hold on. For now, its a decision that can be firmly put on the back-burner as Sri Lanka aim for a clean sweep to cap Heraths first - and possibly last - series as captain.The implementation of DRS, for the first time in Zimbabwe, will add an element of intrigue. Zimbabwe have been at the centre of a number of poor umpiring decisions in recent times.Form guideZimbabweLLLLL (completed matches, most recent first) Sri Lanka WWWWDIn the spotlightMalcolm Waller came into the fray for selection for the first Test on the back of 37 and 87 for Zimbabwe A in a four-day fixture against Pakistan A. Prior to that, he recorded three successive half-centuries in the 50-over format. He made scores of 22 and 0 in the first Test; thhe timing of his dismissal in the second innings even as Zimbabwe fought to save the Test was crucial.dddddddddddd With Tarisai Musakanda, who also made runs against Pakistan A, breathing down his neck, there could be pressure on Waller to make a significant score here.Dilruwan Pereras utility in this Sri Lankan line-up, especially at home, cant be understated. Hes a more-than-capable lower-order batsman, and a tidy offspinner. But on surfaces that aid swing and seam movement, like Sri Lanka could encounter in South Africa, it remains to be seen how effective he would be. Perhaps another solid performance in the second Test could go a long way in convincing the team management that he could be a contender for a spot even if Sri Lanka decide to play an extra fast bowler.Team newsStreak and Tatenda Taibu, the selection convenor, have spoken of the need for continuity, which means Zimbabwe are likely to field the same XI despite their top-order batsmen failing to convert starts. That could mean Musakanda, who made 87 against Pakistan A to earn his selection in the Test squad, may have to wait longer for his first Test cap.Zimbabwe: (probable) 1 Tino Mawoyo, 2 Brian Chari, 3 Hamilton Masakadza, 4 Craig Ervine, 5 Sean Williams, 6 Peter Moor, 7 Malcolm Waller, 8 Graeme Cremer, 9 Donald Tiripano, 10 Carl Mumba, 11 Chris MpofuSri Lanka picked up 20 wickets, but were stretched a fair bit. With the top order among the runs in both innings, there could be a temptation to bring in left-arm wrist spinner Lakshan Sandakan to boost their bowling stocks. That could mean Asela Gunaratne, who made 53 and 16 not out, may have to make way.Sri Lanka: (probable) 1 Kaushal Silva, 2 Dimuth Karunaratne, 3 Kusal Perera, 4 Kusal Mendis, 5 Upul Tharanga, 6 Dananjaya de Silva, 7 Dilruwan Perera, 8 Rangana Herath, 9 Suranga Lakmal, 10 Lakshan Sandakan/Asela Gunaratne 11 Lahiru KumaraPitch and conditionsA similar pitch to the one last week is expected, which points to another workout for the bowlers. There is solace, though, in the fact that conditions are expected to be a lot cooler following intermittent spells of summer rain since the conclusion of the first Test. There could be brief rain interruptions from time-to-time in this Test.Stats and triviaHerath will surpass Anil Kumble and have the second-most number of wickets by a spinner in his first 75 Tests if he takes nine wickets in the match. Kumble had 346; Herath, after 74 games, is on 338. Muttiah Muralitharan tops the list with 420 wickets after 75Cremer aggregated more than half of his career runs (258 runs in 26 innings) in the first Test alone through scores of 102* and 43QuotesWe know that we cant control what decisions go our way, but as long as were playing that positive brand of cricket then hopefully a few things will go our way. Weve just got to do the best we can with bat or ball. Zimbabwes captain Graeme Cremer when asked about his team being rather luckless with umpiring decisions in the first TestFrom the beginning it was a different challenge and a different experience but Ive enjoyed every moment. Ive had a lot of confidence from my playing career, so that has helped as well.Sri Lankas stand-in captain Rangana Herath ' ' '
