Re: It's just not cricket
OK - back on topic.
This match is hideously boring. The only things that are happening are (a) Australia clocking up 3 runs per over and (b) Stuart Broad roaring like an idiot every time he is the only person on the planet who thinks he's just taken a wicket.
So, in the absence of anything exciting happening, at what score should Australia declare in order to give themselves sufficient time to win the test? Would 450 be a wrong answer?

They will keep going forever. Anyway Eric and Ernie are much more soothing than the cricket, Clarke deserves runs but that pill Haddin doesn't.

If it comes to a declaration I suspect the decision will be based on how many overs they want to bowl at England today rather than what the score is.DRT wrote:OK - back on topic.

Re: It's just not cricket
The title of this thread looks visionary.
I listened to Bell explain how England were going to save this match and why he shouldn't bat at 3. I weep for the future.
Looking forward to a nice chat about port or telescopes as an alternative.

Re: It's just not cricket
I heard a similar interview on Radio 4 today. The greatest gem from Bell whilst talking about fighting spirit was "I would much rather be in our dressing room than theirs". Owen, you are right to weep.LGTrotter wrote:I listened to Bell explain how England were going to save this match and why he shouldn't bat at 3. I weep for the future.
