pitch still looks a belter for batting - get to the afternoon session 3 or 4 down and the runs could really flow in the afternoon

I think they already are - 66 runs in 70 mins and the longer KP stays in the more the runs will flow.

450-3

Over 5 runs an over in that session, hope KP can go on to improve his 158 to a double ton!

Bat out the next session then have a half hour slog in the last before putting Ozzies back in. Get em 2 down tonight and we are laughing.

Bar a collapse that is exactly what I would do.

We have them on the ropes here, just hope we can finish them off!

Re: SUPER ENGLAND ASHES TOUR : Sun Dec 05, 2010 3:31 am  

over 1000 runs now for the last 5 wickets

KP delivers me some humble pie. Git.

Re: SUPER ENGLAND ASHES TOUR : Sun Dec 05, 2010 4:22 am  

200 up for KP

Re: SUPER ENGLAND ASHES TOUR : Sun Dec 05, 2010 4:28 am  

Superb display so far. Not far off a 300 lead now.

Re: SUPER ENGLAND ASHES TOUR : Sun Dec 05, 2010 9:50 am  

Ironically our total stands at 551, exactly the score on which we declared before losing on the same ground four years ago. The lead is 306.

If we declare now and the Aussies bat well the scored would be about level by the end of day 4. If they bat really well we might be left chasing a target of 150 or so against the clock on a worn pitch on the final day. Do we declare now, or smash another 50-100 tomorrow morning and leave them no chance at all of an unlikely win?
