3 warnings and you can't bowl again in the innings I think.

yes thats the rule, now we're ahead by 308 runs, if we can get to 420 or 450 runs ahead near 5 clock then i will be bloody happy, And we can try to bowl the Aussies out tonight and tommorow.

Would the Aussies really be all that concerned if Gillespie couldn't bowl? Could be a blessing in disguise.
I'd like to see us step up the run rate, even if it costs a wicket or 2. We need to declare with a decent score with about 5 or 6 overs left this evening to try a sneak a wicket this evening.
Exciting stuff.

It seems they've gone in with the wrong attitude. They think they only have to turn up. Hope we don't blow it. What time does it finish this evening, is it 6 or has there been a certain amount of overs for today?

What?
I think it'll finish at 6 unless they're allowed any extra to make up for yesterday, but it will be a set time rather than overs.

Thank you, it's nice when someone reply's to my post. Maybe it's because I'm a newbie that know one reply's. If it finishes at 6, why don’t we just go for it. got wickets in hand?

I think going for it has been the plan but we want to make sure the run chase for the aussies is not enough for them to plod along at their usual rate of 4 an over otherwise the game will be gifted to them. Remember how close they got in the last test.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a declaration soon so we get half hour tonight to go at them. I'm not sure what the weather forecast for tomorrow is but we're taking a chance if we bat at all tomorrow.
Flintoff has just gone so I would hope we'll declare now.

I say declare at 400, 400 sounds a nice round figure. Just wish it hadn't rained yesterday. did you see Shane warne look to the heavens thinking that he's on England’s side? he's on their side for yesterday.

An hour left, declare and put them in now.

Over 400 in front now. Bell gone. I can't believe we're playing on.

Finally a declaration. Lead of 422

A 422 lead means that Australia need a world record fourth innings score to win.

I'm just hoping that the Aussies come out fighting instead of playing for the draw. 422 is good. But They're world Champions and number one. If we was in that situation then we’d come out and go for it. I think they'll be boring
