[banjo]

Robinson sees to have a bit more about him batting than Broad.

Robinson sees to have a bit more about him batting than Broad.

He has saved Sussex quite a few times with the bat.

 

[The Wizard]

England declare… interesting, very aggressive.

 

[pasty]

Wow. Eng declare on 393/8 to have a bowl tonight

 

[banjo]

Blimey

 

[zefarelly]

Declaration. Fighting talk, me likes.

 

[Simster]

I guess this is the sort of option you have when you've put 400 up on day 1.

Like.

 

[Machiavelli]

England declare… interesting, very aggressive.

I would say reckless, but what do I know.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Cor blimey. Going for it

 

[keaton]

I mean I do love Bazball. But that declaration is ridiculous

 

[Hugo Rune]

Declaration. Fighting talk, me likes.

Wow. That’s aggressive. I mean really aggressive and brave. If RDZ managed a cricket team ……….

 

[zefarelly]

I would say reckless, but what do I know.

More than me probably . . . One thing we do know, it will be entertaining.

maybe Stokes know what the pitch will do on day 3 . . . . It may also piss down

 

[Simster]

I mean I do love Bazball. But that declaration is ridiculous

Is it though? We've got runs on the board, it's boiling and their openers will be knackered.

 

[A1X]

Broad to Warner incoming

 

[Eeyore]

I would say reckless, but what do I know.

Potentially, England may have handed them 50 runs.

They need to make inroads here, because as it stands that decision makes no sense at all.

 

[ManOfSussex]

I bet the Aussie openers never saw that declaration coming either.

 

[Machiavelli]

What will it be, as TMS is saying that there's 20 minutes for the Aussies to handle, which would be four or five overs. If we got one wicket, it'll be a good decision.

 

[HangletonGull]

Like the declaration very aggressive

 

[vegster]

England declare… interesting, very aggressive.

It's a reasonable gamble, they would only have managed maybe another 20-30 runs if they batted on til all wickets were down.. two wickets tonight would be worth considerably more as the convicts are a tad light in batting depth.
