Not sure that’s our ethos.

Agreed. But maybe it should be in this situation?

Ali looks like a walking wicket. Can we sneak up to 300? You’d imagine it’s all on stokes from here

Let's get to 225 first.

 

[domalino]

35 more runs to 250, which is defendable.

275 would be alot better.

I think it should be but you can’t argue about our results over the past 12 months.

 

[DMA's]

Probably the game right there

 

[BringBackSwales]

We’re doomed

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Urghh

 

[M18CTID]

We're in a bit of a pickle now ffs!

If we can get 300 ahead, Australia would still be big favourites to win. But it at least gives us something to defend.

 

[DMA's]

Really disappointing tbh. The root dismissal especially was just absolute madness. Feel we have missed a huge chance here

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Well we won't be declaring in this innings.

 

[Iassel]

Completely brainless.

As per earlier post 0-0 is not the end of the world, now we are at huge risk of being 0-1 by our own self imposed stupidity.

Need to dig in here and make it hard for them. Every run could be essential. Especially with the possibility of rain tomorrow.

Not sure we are gonna get 250 now

Won't do it now.
:-(

We need to invoke the spirit of Headingley 1981 here. Sadly, Bob is no longer with us, but what's Botham and Dilley up to these days?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Hope Robinson bounces one into Labuchange’s nose later

There's only ever been 1 successful chase of 300 plus in Tests at Edgbaston, only 2 above 250.

 

[dadnlad]

only way to get draw here is field with everyone on boundary and make them run all 200 runs

 

[Cricket Blue]

need 300 min
