It's The Ashes (again)

[AnelkasBeard]

Anything Saturday is a bonus I reckon, also think Sunday we may be looking at 2/3rd day at best

I'd be tempted to get them in before lunch 13-150 lead, playing time is the only thing which threatening us in this test

Cuzer

Can’t see why we’d do that. 150 lead is probably 4 hours of batting by Aus to make us bat again. There’ll be more than 4 hours play in the test from lunch today onwards.

Get the runs now while we can score super fast, and try to only bat once.

Is correct.

Bat for about an hour after lunch with YJB hopefully smacking it to all parts for as long as possible, Broady to stick around. Try get another 50-80 in that time if we can (Jonny is definitely capable of that).

That puts the Aussies about 260-270 behind, plenty to hopefully mean we don't have to bat again, or have to chase a measly total. With our batters, anything under 100 we can knock off very quickly I reckon.
