id let him have a go on mewoakes is the kind of chap you’d let have a go on your wife because you know he’d send you a thank you hamper afterwards.
Nothing wrong with a bit of discussion on a message board.Good to see the doom lads are back.
and then he’d send your wife a hamper.id let him have a go on me
It's a must win game, you give yourself the best possible chance to take 10 wickets first and deal with the target later.There is when there clearly won’t be time to chase down any target and take 10 wickets.
yep. fine upstanding citizens, refusing to claim a dodgy catch. we really are the only thing saving not only test cricket, but all cricket.Same old England
the even reviewed a decision themselves to save the aussies a review.Review shouldn’t be lost there. That’s another decision the umpires have given the Aussies. The umpiring in this test has been awful, worst I remember in a long time.
I think the uneven bounce probably changed England’s approach. The Aussies are in a bit of no man’s land here. If they try to defend for the better part of two days then they need to be mistake free, which on a pitch showing uneven bounce seems unlikely. They need a lead here so can’t just plod along as I don’t seem them lasting until the end for the draw.It's a must win game, you give yourself the best possible chance to take 10 wickets first and deal with the target later.
The only thing a 270 lead has ensured is that England won't lose the match. Ensuring you don't lose is not how you approach a must win game.
This. I'm baffled people aren't grapsing the fact that taking 10 wickets is your 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th priority. You deal with the runs once you take those wickets.It's a must win game, you give yourself the best possible chance to take 10 wickets first and deal with the target later.

Have to disagree. This is the best approach to win the match.It's a must win game, you give yourself the best possible chance to take 10 wickets first and deal with the target later.

I’m baffled why people think the Aussies can last 2 days batting on this pitch, technically 2 1/2 ish but time will be lost to weatherThis. I'm baffled people aren't grapsing the fact that taking 10 wickets is your 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th priority. You deal with the runs once you take those wickets.
Dude look at the forecast, chances are there won't be much play (if any) after today. Then you're left with 150 excessive runs and 2 hours of batting that should've been spent on taking wickets.I think the uneven bounce probably changed England’s approach.

Hopefully he chokes on it the cnut.Am I the only person who likes the guy with the trumpet
England saving brass instruments AND test cricketHopefully he chokes on it the cnut.
I don’t mind it, I was next to him at one of the women’s games, but he moves around the ground. He gets the crowd going a bit. Saw a video about him the other day, he’s played with loads of famous musicians so not just a part timer. I always wondered how he can take so much time off work.Am I the only person who likes the guy with the trumpet
The trumpet sounds alright on TV. The only time I couldn't stand these things were the vuvuzelas at the South African football world cupI don’t mind it, I was next to him at one of the women’s games, but he moves around the ground.

Yeah could have influenced the umpires decisionRoot should’ve celebrated that and that would’ve been out.
That looks considerably more out than any of the other contentious decisions all summer.
