The England Cricket Thread

Incredible stat on the radio apparently the Aussies haven't made this many to win an ashes test since 1948 so history is on our side, Keep up the scoring Ollie Robinson!

To be fair a lot of those times they've not needed to.

Highest run chase at Edgabston:
1. 378/8 ENG v India
2. 283/5 SOUTH AFRICA v Eng
3. 211/3 ENG v New Zealand

Edit: I think there'll be a declaration soon

I don't expect that we'll still be batting by then, but if we're still in at half 5 I reckon we'll give ourselves an hour to run at the Aussies

My only issue with the declaration was not giving Root a couple more overs he was in blistering form and seeing it like a football, 2 over knowing the declaration was coming could have added a vital 20 odd runs to the total for loss of very little time, the lead is edging towards 250 which suddenly sounds more reasonable make it 280 by some miracle and it's game on.

if theyd have gone on they wouldn't have got any overs in that evening. making the declaration pointless.

I've loved the winviz predictions seemingly changing on their own, Australia now favourites despite nothing changing since the last time I saw it except England having more runs. as per above done think much will be played tomorrow, or not enough to force a result,think England almost have enough now, get 2 hours at them this evening at least.

I was just amazed they hadn't chased down something improbable in the intervening years, the sort of total where we already had the champagne on ice they had a habit of dashing our hopes when I was growing up!

I've loved every day of this.

I still think there's more ups and downs for both of us before the end :)

Interesting to see the Aussie mind set this evening given the weather forecast tomorrow, do they come out and tap it around as usual knowing what could be to come tomorrow or do they look to get a sizeable chunk on the board tonight anticipating little play in very challenging conditions tomorrow....

I think they'd just go aggressive from the get go. I'd be disappointed if they didn't.
 
Interesting session coming up, likely to be where the game is won and lost, England need a couple of cheap wickets to get Aussie nerves jangling if they get through to the close without loosing more than 1/2 then they will likely be in the driving seat weather permitting. Great effort by the England tail they have certainly given us a chance.
