watch the big guy fit himself into the crease. the awkward crouch and the late adjustments, but once he’s got it right he’s unstoppable. once he’s fit himself into his bobbing twitching form.

i dont think anyone remembers that timberlake scored 100 this morning – that was a short passing excess. just to bring sexy back and dispel the crack mythologies.

pietersen = rain. his value to england is perfectly equivalent – this is not a metaphor. he is a rain god.

regardless of the the outcome of the match it is clear that the series is alive.
