*Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

[Swingpanzee]

Already got a good lead, just get to 300 before tea and declare.

Isn't 300 a wee bit too less?

HAHAHAHAHAHA at Watson. ****.

 

[Spark]

That is also an odd way to get out

 

[NUFAN]

Bresnan getting wickets by bowling junk.

 

[Pothas]

lol.

 

[telamelo]

see a battling collapse looming.. poms may have less than 300 to chase to win

 

[Maximas]

still plenty of batting to come,keep going hard Aus

 

[morgieb]

We're gonna lose here. I can feel it.

 

[Spark]

We're gonna lose here. I can feel it.

This be some quality Gambhiring

 

[Garson007]

Don't let this slow you down, you ****s. You still have to declare at tea.

 

[GIMH]

Collapse is imminent.

 

[Ruckus]

ill be pissed off if we decide to slow down just because of the loss of a few wickets here

Isn't 300 a wee bit too less?

Depends if/how much they think it's going to rain really.

A loss and a draw are essentially the same thing for Australia at this point so the chance of losing is irrelevant; they just need to maximise their chances of winning. That doesn't mean they should declare really early obviously because if England chase down the target 9 down with an hour to spare after a declaration then that declaration has actually cost Australia the game but if they think it's going to rain (and there is rain forecast) then 300 could be the magic number.

 

[Maximas]

going by the forecast, would england have enough time to safely chase 300 in the 4 sessions following tea?

 

[Riggins]

Prior the third best gloveman playing in this match.

warner?

 

[Maximas]

warner?

The one direction guy?

 

[Cabinet96]

warner?

Assume he's referring to daylight.

 

[Prince EWS]

warner?

Would assume he means Hughes or Bairstow.

 

[Riggins]

oh right. is daylight first or second haha

 

[Ruckus]

[MW1304]
