So am I!!!

Watching the test match - not 58 - that's nearly dead!

 

[GB72]

Same here, loking forward to England piling on the runs for a session or two.

 

[madandra]

Am trying to keep awake til 2AM

 

[JT77]

Just the first half hour to an hour for me as work the mora. Come on England.

Shouldn't Strauss just declare now? How much of a lead do they need?

 

[Leftie]

Thanks pal

He'll get us to a lead of 400 then declare (sometime around lunch I would think). Then we bowl them out before they reach the 400 they need. Simples.

Going to try and stay awake until lunch.

It looks like its starting to swing a bit.... tasty.

and the odd one is keeping low to sow seeds of doubt in the batsmens mind

 

[Aztecs27]

I wouldn't be shocked to see this wrapped up by the end of the day if we declare before lunch and our bowlers are hot. Especially if the ball keeps swinging.

 

[madandra]

I would declare now and keep the momentum going rather than give the Aussies a second wind bowling you out.

Good point, but I think they'll want to get to a 400 lead before declaring. Psychologically a "bigger" score for them try and target.

 

[madandra]

C'mon Levi. Give Swann the ball and watch Pointing come unravelled.

 

[IM01]

Must be giving Trott a chance to get a double hundred before declaration.

Few overs at them before lunch must be a better option.

 

[Whereditgo]

Leave them out in the sun, bowlers flogging a dead horse and their top order fretting about how and when

 

[fundy]

theres still 8 session left, no reason to declare at all, happy to keep the aussies out there and give the deck a chance to deteriorate. Declaration wont come till an hour after lunch at the earliest for me

 

[rickg]

Gonna watch it all the way through like the last 2 nights.....more coffee please!

Yea, was just thinking about this. Bowlers look tired, keep them slogging away until they've bowled us all out and see what lead we can get.

 

[Whereditgo]

That'll be lunch then!
