Yep that's the thing, if they can't push for a 359 they'd be better off holding out for a draw, but they still have two whole days to bat. So if it means just playing defensive shots and getting barely any runs, then so be it. I mean it'll be extremely boring for the crowd, but needs must i guess.

You wouldn’t believe it by his posts but he is an Aussie! Wins and loses like a typical Aussie as well!
That bugger is just like my mate then, overhypes England just to wind me up.
Well unless it's WC cricket then he just goes in a real strop
Highlights packages can make anything exciting for the rest of us
Whatever happens we are in for some great bowling. Sunny now and today, one wonders how much of a part Lyon is going to play.

Mate, I'm Australian and I am definitely not supporting England in this game.
I just give them credit for a solid batting display.
Translation: wins more often than England; loses less often than England.

Doesn't bother me, I'm half English anyway and I'm also a British citizen.
