This will not be complete unless Clarke is clean bowled by a Broad inswinging yorker and falls over in an exact repeat of the Ponting bowled. That must occur today, now, next over it must for my schaudenfraude.

The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized
Australian top order cleverly avoiding facing Finn so he doesn't tear through them like the last test. Good strategy imo.

There is no justification in this, or any other plane of existence, for playing that shot when your team is 5 wickets down within 6 overs.
