If possible, bat until tea, hopefuly a lead of at least 450+, just to add further sense of hopelessness, then chuck everything at 'em in last session of the day and see what damage can be done before final day.

Big ask Mutt's 450. Then we can just what ? Getta a bitta chat going after tea ?

Like it.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

350 lead and I'd be happy. Expecting to get rolled for 200 tonight though.

Suspect we already have enough though.

Just on Archer, I read a great British article earlier today (can’t recall the writer) that talked about his workload - Archer sent out a tweet after day 1 about how sore he would be and everyone laughed along, but it’s actually a concern for such a young bowler in their first test series to feel overbowled. The article quoted some insider calling it “abuse”.

Batter is the new term, it's gender neutral.

Its fish coating. Drives me insane especially how the oldies who I thought would resist such PC bullsh1t have started using the term.

Only used in cooking if you ask me.

It's only come around since the emergence of Womens cricket.

Years? Not really. Couple maybe.

 

[Hojuman]

C'mon boys. 50 more runs please.

 

[darko]

I'll take another 70 runs.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

I'll take another 200 runs.

 

[Harris 10]

I'll take another 70 runs.

I’ll take a declaration 10 overs before stumps.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

No Archer opening the bowling, they may have worn him out already

^ Like you, I always worry that an opponent does something extraordinary to take a winnable game away from us.

You can thank Brad Scott for that.

HAHAHA 300 ✔

Bairstow drops another that Root had covered.

 

[Themanbun]

Glorious cover drive from marnus followed up by a snick and dropped catch.

Love the look of this bloke (has improved A LOT really quickly), but we need to get out of this habit as a side.

Pattinson now does that flourish after leaving the ball Smith does. Like committing to leaving bit , playing leaving it as a shot.

350 will be a good lead. Working towards it.
