the thing is though, it's such a highway that even if you do that and your lead's only 100 england are only a collapse away from aus having a big sniff at a chaseable target on what seems like a real featherbed!There's always the possibility that Aus **** this up and get bowled out for 300 but it has to be remote. Keep England's geriatrics on the field for 120+ overs and you already put a huge dint in the Ashes
absolutely agree re grinding the english bowlers into the dirt though. as you say in your earlier post it's a proper underrated tactic in a long series
