Let’s hope you’re right! I’d say we’re still in with a chance if we can keep the deficit within 100 runs.

You have to believe we can

I want us to win and not be a laughing stock that the Aussies are loving it at the moment.

Not all doom & gloom, if England can skittle out these last 4 for around 30 runs, it's game on, bat for good day, hopefully cracks start appearing in the wicket, you just never know, anyone know if say 300 4th innings chase is possible??,

I wonder how tired Root will be when it's time for him to bat. He's only had 2 1/2 overs when he's not been on the field.

Need 400 to stand a chance.

 

[Pubteam Lomas]

We're screwed. Dropped too many catches and they'll have a big lead.
They definitely have a massive advantage knowing how to play pink ball cricket; when to attack/defend etc... but the likes of Brook and Jacks need to be more game savvy.

Perhaps to even things up we could trade Pope and Carse for Starc and Labuchange.
This all stems from too much sloggit cricket.
4 day cricket in England should be played Mon-Thurs in June,July and August.Then T20 and 16.4 Fri to Sun.

Shortening the season from almost 6 to 3 months won't help.

We might get 400 if we score at 8 an over, and Harry Brook gets 150 off 75 ball's.

 

[Don Karleone]

Back again. Let's see how they disappoint us today.

Will we make it to a fourth day ! Guess that would be regarded as an achievement.

There tailenders looking comfortable.
Our top order batters will make it look like a wicket from hell.

 

[antspider]

Stokes looks like he is about to spontaneously combust

 

[chris63]

How easy are they making it look.

 

[Don Karleone]

This is embarrassing.

Prime 4 day cricket in those 3 mths.
Not all at the start and the end.
