OzYes. Oz are nowhere near as good as I thought they'd be and England not as good as they think they are
That's exactly right  |

Need to get a big total tomorrow and bowl them out on Sunday as Monday looks wet!

England 40-0 after 4 overs. What the actual fuck?

Crazy to think that. Appalling bowling by the Oz |

Amazing to think how many people didn’t want Crawley opening in this series, I was one of them who was unsure.
He’s been absolutely outstanding.

Was mentioned on TMS that this is possibly the first time in a decade you can't really debate th opening pair. They've had a strong series.

They have had a strong series, as has Khawaja for Aus. I do wonder if it's the same reason Anderson has had a poor series - the ball has swung but not really much in the first 8 overs or so which is what you'd normally expect for English conditions. Even Warner has generally got starts, he's just got out afterwards.

With the number of wickets we have in hand and the strong batting line up to come, I’d like to see Stokesy open up a little bit now. He can do some much damage when throwing caution to the wind it’d be a shame if he plays reserved and gets out cheaply. Just go for it

Are you looking to declare today as Monday's forecast isn't looking good

Two days left, any declaration today would be last 30-40 mins at most you'd think. Pitch has definitely flattened out, I'd want to set 330+ although we might be there by tea.

That's my thinking. As long as we have a decent total late afternoons maybe give the bowlers a few overs.

Give the bowlers as long a rest as possible, they’ve only had half a day off.

I agree that we need to give the bowlers a rest and build a fat lead, even if the weather ‘looks’ bad as Jimmy has suggested. Forecast could always be wrong
