Haddin gone, and the declaration comes. Time for England to collapse to 80 all out.

Your tea day 4 prediction could come true...80 runs a bit rich though.

Declaration!
C'mon Cooky, bring your off-stump game to play please.
Largest Aussie score v England since 1934 apparently. Would have liked to have seen 700 personally.

We shall see. You think "no worries at all"? Only 239 runs behind..."not too much trouble".
Great confidence you show. I saw England play in the last Ashes series, and quite a bit of them playing on tour in the West Indies recently. Also saw them batting in the first innings.

Yep they had to do it now really though they aren't going to hav hardly any time to try and get the 1st wicket as the rain is knocking on Cardiff's door now, should be in the next 15-30 mins I'd guess...and once it comes in there aren't many breaks, may get some play in the late eveing possibly but that'll be it.

Didn't they score 435 in the first innings? More than enough to save this game.We shall see. You think "no worries at all"? Only 239 runs behind..."not too much trouble".

Hadn't spent two days in the field playing piss poor cricket before that innings, though. An early wicket, and the innings could really just fall to pieces.

Quite right, yes, but how they batted first time round isn't evidence of that. Neither is their performances against the West Indies itbt, they completely dominated with the bat on pitches like this one.

agree, as tempting as it is to label them everything under the sun, if England make 5/300 or similar to save the match quite comfortably, I sense a psychological victory/nullification on their behalf from the carnage we just witnessed.

ripper, I'd say its a lot closer then that, if its not raining by 3:45 I'll be surprised, no more then 15-20 miles west of Cardiff at the moment.
England just need to survive with all wickets in tact and then odds for a draw must increase a lot for the final day.

I think it's a case of 'we have cool technology and graphics, lets use them'.
