Crash Hamster Jul 2017 2:48pm, 31 Jul 2017 895 posts	0 Crash Hamster Brilliant win and well bowled Moeen for the hat trick! What was the umpire thinking in not giving the last one out on the field? I was giving it out from here and I hadn't got my glasses on!

Crash Hamster Jul 2017 3:07pm, 31 Jul 2017 896 posts	0 Crash Hamster Interestingly I think (and it looks like Mo's career stats haven't updated for this match on cricinfo) that Moeen Ali now has a better bowling average in Tests than John Emburey.
