That would waste 30 mins though. Not necessary.

Might unsettle the openers enough to get the breakthrough though. All the old players go on about how they hated opening after being in field and not knowing when declaration was coming, might work.

Imagine if they played test cricket at Taunton.

would be glorious TBF

 

[Spikey]

kallis one more run and tee off or be called names

[Jacknife]

Surprised the pitch hasn't deteriorated more for the spinners, really looked like it was going to at one point

pews you mathsbot, geometric progression;

1;1, 2;260, 3;?

 

[BeeGee]

Will SA declare once Amla gets to 300, or once the lead goes over 200 runs?

Probably not much room for sentimentality, but you never know. Amla certainly doesn't look like getting out so maybe they'll wait for him to get to 300.

One hour after tea would be my guess.

I love English crowds.

 

[Garson007]

Why are they not hitting out yet? Not wanting to give the poms any sort of confidence?

The way the pitch scuffed up during the opening session of the match I think everyone expected it to be a minefield by now.

Does seem strange. Nothing to lose now have they.
