Watched a few hours in between dozing off. Saw about an hours bowling from 10PM then all of Johnny's superb innings. Great stuff but knackered now. Well done England.

Hussain has just said a cricketing term I have never heard before. What is a "Moon Ball"?

He uses "buzzers" - no they are overthrows.

He described Tahir as a "line spinner" - That is a fishing term isn't it? I think he meant he bowled straight balls as well as balls that turn.

He talks testicles.

Moon ball is lobbed well above the eyeline and usually slow.

Coined when Jeremy Snape was lethal with them for Leicestershire when the twenty20 really got going.

Nas been saying buzzers for donks. Obvs a term used in his playing days, not one I hear others saying.
