How about that performance Azza ?

We just pantsed the 1st ranked IND on their home patch with some blistering batting.

John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.
