I am no cricket man but we only need 350 odd? 9 men average 40 each? Doesn’t seem that hard to me? Especially if a couple get 100? Am I missing something??

Team full of Steve Smiths - easy
Team full of Denlys - au revoir Ashes
Stokes is the person who will decide it. Great player. Good enough..??

History and statistics, an analogy just for you but I stand to be corrected. I’d assume it’s a lot easier to build the first floor of a block of apartments than the subsequent ones.

Aye. We are not that good and team laden with shiverers.

Been some rubbish written and spoken about how to bowl to Smith in this series. The guy has mastered batting, you simply do not get better than him. He’s a genius, a once in a lifetime player. Trying to set traps to him is impossible. Just bowl a consistent, good length at the top of off/4th stump and just cross your fingers that one nibbles, seams or he just misses one. At least bowling like that you give yourself a chance with all three dismissals still available. The only time our bowler did that yesterday he played and missed a few times in the space of a few overs.

Jimmy would’ve troubled him

Ok 350 divided by 8 - 43 ish each. Seems possible?

Denly and Roy are at the crease at the minute, they won’t last long. It leaves Stokes to much to do. Needed a good innings from Root.

Anyone thinking england have a chance of even a draw are deluded?? They will be lucky to reach 200. Australia will destroy them today. A full day without the possibility of rain not a hope in hell. More chance of harry Maguire winning the uk's best looking male award.

Man City 9 Burton Albion 0 after the first leg
I could imagine a kid somewhere thinking, "Burton are at home for the next match and will have a goalkeeper and ten outfield players. All that needs to happen is all the outfield players score a goal each and they'll win"
