It's The Ashes (again)

[SuperBob2002]

A lot of these 'highest 4th innings total to win a test' at most venues will be smashed in the forthcoming years. I'm not necessarily suggesting that will happen at Edgbaston tomorrow, but I don't put much stock into those stats due to how many shots batsmen can play and how deep most teams now bat. For example Broad came in at 10 for us who has a test century and is a more than decent batter. The game has changed so much in the last five years or so.

It wasn't so long ago a par ODI score was 250, now it's 350. That's how many sides approach their final Test innings now, as a one day game!

England winning with plenty of runs to spare
England winning with late wicket drama with Aus needing a handful of runs to win.
Aus winning with plenty of runs to spare.
Aus winning with 1 wicket remaining.
Aus blocking out for a draw.
Wash out.

All the above could happen.

And a tie

Always forget a tie as an option. It can't happen often in a Test match?
