Yeah, winning the game should be priority here, 2 days to score 250, get yourself in and take the bad ball for runs, anything else is pure stupidity.

That’s the sensible option…..but….

 

[cleavers]

What’s he done now?

Nearly a run out.

 

[Ajm1985]

Nice shot that

 

[discopop]

Nearly a run out.

Not a surprise Mahrez isn’t known for his blistering pace ;-)

We can't lose this one surely?

 

[waspish]

One of these need to get the Majority of the runs because not expecting Stokes to get big runs this innings, law of averages an all that..

 

[Cricket Blue]

Cheating BASTARDS!!!!

We can't lose this one surely?

A 250 chase against a world class bowling attack, where the pitch is doing a bit is certainly not a walk in the park.

Seriously?

 

[Claytop]

We can't lose this one surely?

Still 50-50 for me.

Why do the English batsmen especially Crawley feel compelled to take a swing at short and wide deliveries?

 

[SWP's back]

hmmmmm maybe putting Ali in at 3 wasnt such a good idea.

Fucking stupid idea.

We don’t necessarily need anybody to be getting centuries, just 2 or 3 with a half-decent knock should see us over the line.

Dare I say Crawley looks like being one of them, he’s batted well so far…

 

[york away to this!]

If we get to 248 with four down I may start to relax...

 

[deano ou812]

Unfortunately can see this heading same way as the last test England fall short by about 20-30 runs this time ..

 

[cleavers]

hmmmmm maybe putting Ali in at 3 wasnt such a good idea.

At least he was out to a very good ball, not wafting at balls that are nowhere near the stumps.

 

[pluto]

No excuses, 2 days to this.

 

[MCFC1993]

Need this partnership to dig in and stick around a little bit...

So 1 will probably go in the next couple of overs.

 

[Norbert D]

Root is looking well dodgy

 

[discopop]

Oh and suddenly there’s a ball change.
