Remember this from July last year?
In the last paragraph I asked, rather rhetorically I thought, what would happen if he tried it in a Test rather than a meaningless 20/20 game.
Well, now we know.

Well spotted, Mark.
I only saw a bit of the action the other night, but when Samuels darted another one I was moved to wonder "What's going on there?"
By the way: A Quick One live from the Rock 'n' Roll Circus is my all-time favourite rock film clip and one of my two favourite Who songs. The other is Pure And Easy.
Tony - Pure & Easy is an awesome track, and to think it was never officially released!
Dunno if you're aware, Mark, but Pete Townshend has a blog a while back on which he was writing some kind of serialised story.
It was a pretty weird story in that way Pete is weird, but at least he interacted with his commenters, of which there were thousands.
I left a comment asking if he could possibly remix Who's Next, which I've always felt was a little muddy, and replace Song Is Over with Pure and Easy.
He didn't reply, so I assume my request is off the agenda. For now.
I read bits of Townsend's online book Tone - heavy going to be honest.
A remix of Who's Next is a thought, but maybe sometimes it's best to leave things alone - see the imperfections as evidence of something legitimate, rather than over-worked.
