I still can't get over the earlier 5 minute tactical conversation between Clarke and Johnson devised the strategy of breaking Macullums loving arm. Lmao.

If they win, it'll be because of that decision

The commentators are making it sound as though when Moeen Ali bats we may very well be treated to him dropping his trousers and coating the pitch with explosive diarrhoea.

So a better than average performance for an english batsman then

Alright I've been wrong before, I admit, but this is it - today is the day Quinny returns to form and sets the pace for the Saffers. Over a ton for sure and takes three good catches, he takes MOM and the team is vindicated for their faith in the young opener.
