Paddock Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 All out and we have a lead of 122 . Excellent performance this morning. We put 300 on by lunch tomorrow and we have a full day and 2 sessions to bowl them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Amazing how test cricket has changed, back in the days of Boycott we'd have been 300 odd for six after two days with Sir Geoffrey still in on 26 not out. Used to be so many drawn matches, now they only seem to happen when the weather intervenes. I remember Boycott being dropped after scoring over 200 for England. The selector's said he scored them too slowly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 73-3 now 200 ahead. We're going to need more than 300 to bowl at I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Lead of over 350 now. The bowlers perform like they did in Australia's first innings and we've got a brilliant chance of going 1 up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Two full days to chase it down means it's very doable if their players go about it calmly. Our bowlers are going to have to pressurise them so that they're anything but calm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was getting very twitchy until Ali took that 2nd wicket just before lunch 2 more since then, 4 downand now I'm feeling more comfortable.

MikeO Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 106-4! Game over surely. Managed to watch a bit of it earlier in a bar while the wife had a nap, didn't see any wickets but great intensity from us. What a turnaround from a few months back, unbelievable.
