[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Hmmm...

 

[dougdeep]

68/3. 175 might be enough to win this. Tea time.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I would back India to chase 250. The pitch is getting lower and slower. Our seamers won't be effective and our spinners....well our spinners don't.

We need this pair and Flintoff/Prior/Swann to get the lead past 300 for a good shout at this. Tim won't be an issue - there will be a result.

 

[Beach Hut]

68/3. 175 might be enough to win this. Tea time.

Need a minimum 300 lead to win this

 

[vegster]

we are grinding out the runs..... this is looking pretty good if we don't have another mini collapso.............199 lead...

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Not doing to badly at the minute, glad to see Strauss not rising to Singhs remarks about him batting too slow.

 

[vegster]

stumps, and a lead of 247 with 7 in hand.. could be worth getting up early tommorow as we push on

 

[Billy the Fish]

That was a great partnership, it really got us out of the shit. I'm sure I wasn't the only one expecting the collapse.
I rekon a minimum of 300 is needed, 350 to make it safe. The big question is how long will we need to get them out. I'm thinking declare at tea tomorrow if we're still in.

 

[dougdeep]

The highest score to win in the fourth innings at this ground is less than 150.
