Yeah exactly and people (you, Brumby****) too quickly forget that Harmi had delivered an absolutely brilliant over to lead up to that ball. Smacked Clarke's splice a few times with some 90mph+ nastiness immediately before that ball in what was a pretty intense atmosphere. Clarke was pretty rattled and after what came before it, I would have defied anyone not named Bradman to have thought a slower-ball was a possibility. Was an epic moment in the match and one of the few times you could say for sure that Harmi genuinely out-thought someone.
