Do you think all of these guys had a mutual laugh about the Oz situation?

So when do we declare? Bat until dusk then make them try to survive the evening?
There's always a chance of a collapse but in the absence of that, I'd declare with around 130 overs left in the test. Should be enough runs not to have to bat again but a decent spell with a 2nd new ball if required.

Hundy!! Good man!

Brilliant hundred. His first was against SA too, so he can score against the best. Well played son.
-
Mediocre in the shorter forms of the game but seems very comfortable in the test format. Well done.

@sneakdefreak the anti-guptill!!

300 lead. Realistically they won't have time to set us a target now, so would like to see us kick on or declare in the near future.

Both Smith and rigor were adamant we need to be bowling this session. But not so early we lose the shine for the evening session.
-
I think we keep batting till very late in this session. I like the idea of having a new ball for each night session. Both tonight's and tomorrow nights (if needed)
-
Thought they would wait for Nicholls to push past 150, guess they want England to bat a bit before dinner?

Batted for an hour too long imo. 320 was enough of a lead.
I tend to agree. I doubt England will come out and play aggressively. I think this one is probably 70% to us, 30% draw. We have a day two pitch and a smarting batting line up. It could be difficult to get on top.
