Is it too much to hope that we could chase down 400? I'm genuinely asking.

It would be nice and a fitting end to a great series

But the likelihood is we get rolled for 200-250 and we get to listen to England claiming all sorts of moral victories. Truth is they’ll be right

But we’ll still hold the Ashes

There's probably a 5% chance but more like 0.05% in reality.

But yes you can hope but it's better to be prepared for an embarrassing loss.

I can't see it. Fifth day pitch ? Will be interesting how we go about it . Try to survive or be positive ? Either way we retain the Ashes.

It's currently a 4th day pitch. Bat all day gets us 280ish. Another 100 or so to knock off on day 5.

Remote chance I know, but if we get a nice sunny day and off to a good start...

Tactics this series have been very survival focused, can't see that changing.

Chasing say 400

6 sessions approx

60 odd runs a session.

Sounds doable [emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]

Oh yes, 4th day. Won't hold my breath but would love to be outplayed all series and win 3-1.

Warner needs to be given a license to play ODI style . He gets caught blocking and being stuck on the crease in England.

Get out their and take it to them you cheating flog

 

[ioppolo]

Didn't Warner hit a ridiculous T20 century in England a decade ago?

Or maybe it was Aaron Finch. Was one of the two.

 

[Ochre]

Warner needs to be smart here.

Get out to Anderson before Broad has a go at him.

 

[Dazzler9]

Thankfully no annoying partnership this morning. Let's crack on with the final innings of this series and see if we can pull off a miracle.

It'll be a standing ovation, won't it. One last memory to go out on. ffs

 

[squashface]

Eagles back on the winners list, beer is cracked and now I can sit back and watch a good old fashioned run chase

 

[wce4premiership]

It would take something massive from at least one batsmen, plus a decent support cast.

It can be done, but I think it's like a 5-10% chance, but that's what we watch for. I hope the guys just play naturally, don't try force the game, wait for bad balls and rotate the strike.

There's two days to go, Anderson and Broad have a combined age of 78, Wood can only bowl 4 overs, Ali hurt his groin and Stokes has a bung knee. So it's possible.

Would like to see Head not throw his wicket away in particular.

If the conditions become overcast and it starts to swing a lot we could be holding on for dear life.

 

[Feeling Groovy]

Is Wood injured?

 

[Dazzler9]

Is Wood injured?

no

 

[Feeling Groovy]

no

Thanks. Just wondered why he hadn’t bowled. Just holding him back yo make him angry I guess…

 

[Feeling Groovy]

Also, good on Broad for going out still at the top of his game. Certainly playing well enough to keep going.

As much as he’s an annoying twat in an oppo team, I have always liked him. The pantomime villain.

switch back to 9GEM and you can watch Shawshank instead

Finch 150. Hit a six to bring up his 50,100 and 150. Wild

The 9 app doesn't even give you the option to mute Mark Taylor (or the general chitter chatter). FK sake. Trying to stream tunes and watch in mute

 

[BrotherDodge]

Would be a hell of a last hurrah for Warner if he goes big here and somehow gets us home. C'mon Davey, write your fairy tale...
