[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

How many we gonna lose in 25 mins

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Head has scored 42 off his last 25 balls faced.

Most off Wood

 

[crooky]

Time to smash a quickfire Bazball style 60-2 now...

 

[domalino]

They HAVE to survive tonight.

Probably only going to face 4 or 5 overs.

 

[trueblue1972]

250 testing target for me but as for every game in this series ( despite what you would think from so many of the comments ) were are right in with a very strong chance of winning ,

 

[Dr Jacoby]

54 put on for the last two wickets. Ouch.

That sounds about right .

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Time to smash a quickfire Bazball style 6-3 now...

Edited for reality.

Said we can chase around 250 with this team but we can’t be losing more than 1 in this 25 min spell

 

[domalino]

54 put on for the last two wickets. Ouch.

They did get 6 wickets for 119 runs, can’t be that upset with that, even though I think they’d have saved 40 runs but just bowling full swinging deliveries to Head from the first ball.

 

[MCFC1993]

Need the batsman to show up now, if 1 or 2 of them do that'll be enough. Can't keeping asking Stokes to perform miracles.

I said I thought 230 was the over-under score so I reckon 250 is maybe 60:40 in the Aussie’s favour.

If we avoid losing a wicket for 25 minutes then I reckon we go into tomorrow with it basically being anybody’s game.

I can’t see it happening though on current form.

Good luck to England there going to need it in these conditions.

But we managed to fuck up both of the earlier tests.

 

[Gundoggin]

Head got fed . Terrible tactics from Stokes and Wood in particular. Given the convicts at least 40 runs .
Game on though ! Have this England team got a backbone and bollocks ?

Prity sure we've been here before mate and yes, indeed we have , and may well do again , I really hope not lol , but apparently, we're hugely outclassed that's simply twaddle

 

[Kinkybyname]

no excuses

[Claytop]

I’d take being 1 down at the close now.

 

[waspish]

Think England would of thought they could get 350 they’ve done it before so 251 is a doddle

All I'm saying is that I won't start counting any chickens just yet. Those last two wickets put on over 50 runs, mainly due to poor bowling. They're the fine margins I mentioned a couple of days ago. We could have been chasing less than 200 here. Here's hoping we can do it. If we get down to 20 needed with 6 or 7 wickets in hand, then I'll get the hand cream out; not before then!
