400 would be great.

Jimmy and Broad batting their final innings in Ashes cricket. Now is the time to get your maiden century, Jimmy.

 

[PCozzie]

Hmm. Still favourites, but not sure why we've left Australia a sniff of victory.

 

[Trix]

I couldn't see us batting after close of play anyway. Might as well go out swinging.

 

[midoshairband]

would like a few more, but the turn and variable bounce is encouraging.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Australia have wasted 11 overs in this day and now they’re wasting time so they don’t need to bat. Utter cretins.

I would be trying to smash the ball at Labuschagne after all that fucking around by the Aussies.

 

[Impspur1]

Anything under 400 with 2 days to chase it is pretty dangerous imo

Nah, 4th innings scoreboard pressure. Anything above 250 is tough

 

[midoshairband]

what an unbearable bunch they are.

I certainly hope so! They’ve got the players and the patience to chase it down, though. Moeen will be a miss.

Should be enough regardless but we’ve not ended this innings too well.

They have, but haven’t shown anywhere near the form or confidence to take it on. Moen didn’t look to bad and Root has looked dangerous when he’s bowled.

Joel Wilson is a woeful umpire. One of the worst.

 

[nidge]

Joel Wilson has made some horrific calls today.

Thankful DRS is there to save him.

 

[midoshairband]

Joel with his best Stevie Wonder there.

 

[PCozzie]

Still maintain that Jimmy Anderson plays the reverse sweep as well as any batsman in world cricket.

The rest? Not so much.

 

[Trix]

Do Broad and Anderson come out to bat in the morning?

Shame it's his only shot.

I think they do.
