Haha no he will most definitely be at nursery for this one.Presumably not with your lad this time?
Anyway, I hope the weather gods are kind to you.

Whoever gets the win, it’s been a fantastic matchWell they would like to get all of them
Head is the biggest wicket for England tomorrow. 174 is not a lot and if Head bat's for an hour, that gets to double figures and then two decent partnerships between whomever left with Green and Carey and you are almost there. Wicket is good to bat and Moeen can't bowl so all depends on the overhead conditions
Ponting lost with a good teamI raise you nasser and Athers
There's an Adam Sandler movie "Blended" with Dale Steyn in it.Have you ever seen the episode of Dads' Army where Fred Trueman makes a guest appearance?

Head probably would if he gets set. The others less so. Coming on and off for rain all day implies very tough batting conditions too.Do we think Australia will go for the runs if we lose really significant time?
Depends on how much is a significant time. They would certainly won't decide to collectively chase 174 in a session as England wouldDo we think Australia will go for the runs if we lose really significant time?
Yeah I’ve always thought playing a defensive shot to a ball you could leave is a very big mistake in England. Strangely Labuschagne really stood out for never doing it on the last Ashes tour. Leaving judiciously was basically his one weird trick.I think it was @Uppercut who once said that lame nothing "defensive" shots like that should catch as much opprobrium as wild slogs.
thing with those 3 blokes they look relaxed as hell and it didn’t seem to phase them when Australia was in a similar position their first innings.This is pretty much on khawaja to stay in while everyone else bats around himApart from Khawaja, there's not much experience in the Aussie batting.
Head, Green and Carey won't have faced pressure like this if it gets tight, whereas Robinson apart, our bowlers have been there, read the book, got the t shirt.
Experience doesn't always prove the difference but it often does and that why getting both Warner and Smith was so vital.
Even worse than unnecessary defensive shots are when the batsman just...does a "thing". Not really defensive, but not definitely not attacking. Just sort of non-commital movement of the bat in the direction of off stump. Really gets my goat.Yeah I’ve always thought playing a defensive shot to a ball you could leave is a very big mistake in England.

He doesn't like a lot of things. He does like shoulder charging opposition players away from cameras when walking back to dressing room during tea break thoDon’t think Jimmy is liking the block hole on the crease
