72 Overs to play 130-5

 

[Brighton Boy]

71 left 141-5

 

[Ding Dong !]

To make it more exciting than it already is, I like to see the following scenario.


England all out with a lead of 220 - 230.

Aussies have 2 hours to bat. In light of their current situation, they I'm sure would take on the challenge and go for an all out slog.

Perhaps a more useful thing would be a run-rate required thread by Australia:

So now, it would 159 required off 67 overs = 2.37 an over.

160-5

Pietersen taking it to them

69 over left

 

[Pavilionaire]

Can I just say what a great match Shaun Tait is having?!...

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

That would have been one hell of a catch!

 

[Basil Fawlty]

That would have been one hell of a catch!

I would have to agree with you there, would of been awesome.

43.1 Warne to Collingwood, no run, well flighted and on the legs, the
ball spins a bit towards off, defended carefully

Lee is really steaming in here, and Pietersen is not shy to take
him on

B Lee 10-1-56-0 (1w) - Pavilion End

42.6 Lee to Pietersen, no run, full and on the off, driven to the bowler
42.5 Lee to Pietersen, FOUR, good length ball slipping down the leg
side, flicked away well past deep backward square leg for a
boundary. This is a big over for England
That last delivery was a red hot 96.7 mph
42.4 Lee to Pietersen, FOUR, another short one, another pull, Tait goes
late and dives for it but cannot hold onto that
42.3 Lee to Pietersen, SIX, another bouncer! again Pietersen takes it on
and hooks superbly, sending the ball well into the stands past the
fielder at deep backward square-leg
42.2 Lee to Pietersen, two runs, short of a good length and outside the

41.6 Warne to Collingwood, no run, fuller and on the off, defended
towards silly mid-off
41.5 Warne to Collingwood, no run, ripper! that one drifts in, pitches
and spins sharply, collingwood feels for it but is beaten all ends
up. That is a corker of a ball!

defended with soft hands
41.3 Warne to Collingwood, no run, well flighted and drifting onto leg,
defended back down the pitch
41.2 Warne to Pietersen, one run, full and on the pads, flicked to

161-5

68 overs to play

 

[Gazwag]

Don't forget we lose 2 overs (or it may be more) for the change around.

So I reckon 66 overs left - Aussies run rate will be 2.53 an over if we're all out now

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

keep going boys

 

[JonC]

Aren't they allowed to go on for a bit if it looks like the test can be won?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

aye
