CiderEagle Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Its fantastic - been following it on the net when the boss ain't looking. Don't count your chickens though - the fifth wicket down brings in Gilchrist. I'll only start gettign excited when we get HIM out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat this hour out at whatever scoring rate it takes and go into tea at none down. We still have 4 and a half days to win this one, it's a marathon not a sprint. Who wants to tell the Aussies that?

All of the wickets have come from players playing constantly off the back foot. Someone neds to get forward, and either play some shots, or put up something resembling an effective defence.
