So we've given them a 110 head start. 170 all out then. :thumbsup:

Good grief

A pleasing turn of events in the last 25 minutes. :-)

That's not true. After we collapsed pathetically in 2006/7, plenty of Aussies were a little melancholy that a side that had fronted up so well in 2005 against undoubtedly the best side in World cricket (and one of the greatest ever seen) could be so meek in giving up the Ashes 18 months later.

Magnificent final over from Broad.

Excellent declaration. Those two were struggling to put bat on ball. We might have scored ten more so the chance of a couple of overs before lunch is worth trading those runs.

Anyway, as I was saying, I think we should let them bat again with an hour left today. :jester:

That's a superb delivery. Starc has bowled brilliantly. Er, maybe. :down:

:down:

Our nightwatchman is now on double anything any Australian batsman managed. :lolol:

Good delivery by Starc, who looks MUCH better than Johnson this morning.

As Shane Warne just alluded to, this bowling is absolute gash. A night watchman needs to be roughed up before pitching it up. And so much rubbish bowled around his legs too.

I agree hans kraay fan club and Uh_huh_him. Just a bit of FUN. In reality, I can't see England getting to choose when Australia go back in. What do you want me to say? Sorry, I just don't agree with you. I'd put them back in at the end of today given the choice.

I think you are risking a draw with that strategy, even if it is unlikely. To lead by 600, we'd need to bat until Saturday lunchtime, maybe later. That would leave Australia batting for a maximum of 2.5 days to save the game. That's unlikely, but with some help from the weather it is doable...

Realistically, I can't see why England would bat beyond 450-500 runs really. That would probably be enough runs for an innings victory, even if Australia batted well. On an unrelated note, I'm glad to see that AB De Villiers will be back on top of the world batsman ratings - he's a different...

And around 24 batsmen light, I should think.
