Ashes - 4th Test

[Chris_Boro]

Broad and Bairstow to have a whack for 10-15 minutes. I highly doubt Anderson will bat.

 

[hewielewie]

I agree, go out for 10 minutes. Have a thrash and then declare.

 

[Berwickhillbilly]

30 to 40 minutes or fall of next wicket if these 2 last half an hour.

 

[norfolkngood]

Why waste 10 minutes between innings. Declare now and get after them.

 

[EuropaParmo]

This lead might be enough with scoreboard pressure and pitch with a bit of variable bounce. It's clearly got tougher to bat on. I can't imagine Aus are going to come out and be aggressive their body language is already in 'save the test' mode.

Hanging in there and hoping for the rain to save them, which it might.

Difficult place to be in mentally though, especially with the variable bounce and wood hoying it down at 90+

 

[SmallTown]

Here we go runs stopped, Stokes goes to a nothing ball, into the tail. Collapse just in time for the rain and then 2.5 days to let the ashes defeat sink in.

Have you ever considered being a motiviaional speaker? Your relentless optimism is infectious

 

[EuropaParmo]

More rain in. The time to declare is now.

 

[Steer]

You have got to let the nighthawk have a go at batting. A quick 20 / 30 more will be enough.

 

[Cambsred]

I can see another 5 overs. Breach 200 and declare. Or the next wicket.

 

[Marvanelli]

Wait for Bairstow to get his 50, then declare?

 

[EuropaParmo]

Lead of 209. 9 down. Jimmy batting now. Unsure why

 

[Glover_elbow]

Jim maxwell is superb on tms what a great listen

 

[On The Bob]

Lead of 209. 9 down. Jimmy batting now. Unsure why

Because Bairstow is getting runs and putting us further ahead?

The more runs the better. We don’t want to be chasing too many if/when that time arrives, especially with weather around and a pitch which could get even worse with more variable bounce.

Tough one to balance given the forecast

 

[MoggasDog]

550 I reckon

EDIT: ok, so I will go for a lead of 250 then he will put them in

 

[Muttley]

Here we go runs stopped, Stokes goes to a nothing ball, into the tail. Collapse just in time for the rain and then 2.5 days to let the ashes defeat sink in.

Thoughts and prayers with the committed doom mongers.

This is not an easy time for them.

I know this is very childish, but this must be killing Sky with England being so dominant

I love TMS!!!

 

[BoroJake]

One last over perhaps. Try to get 250?

Woooooooosh

 

[Muttley]

I don't see a point in declaring. Let's get 600
