Ashes 2019

@sparky said in Ashes 2019:
England have never chased down more than 350 to win a test.
They'll have to set a record to do it.
It's good that Archer isn't afraid to go short to the Aussie tail. They, of course, don't give a fuck about intimidation, knowing the best intimidation is to get England out for under 200.
England fielding has been woeful. Overthrows, misfields, dropped catches.

@NTA that session and a bit yesterday morning and "loose bus change" has darn well kept you boys your urn.
Pretty good 100 odd overs mate!
All done and dusted with 2 to play. Congrats

@Siam is cricket. Weirder things have happened, and records are made to be broken.
I won't relax until the fat lady has got home and whipped off her garter belt
@NTA whilst I do believe it is a fait accompli ( it's easy to get romantic about test chases even though the overwhelming odds state that 300 is way too much),
I did get in early in the slim hope that the fat singing wench is preoccupied with the buffet and misses her cue!
if only to keep the series alive...

For all of the valid weight of 4th innings chases, I suppose they don't often start before lunch on Day Three with the best of the pitch.
@Donsteppa might limit the expected effect of the goat

England fairly streaky in getting to the close with only 3 wickets down although they were probably due that after every mistake causing a wicket in the 1st innings. Still unlikely to make not least because most chases that look good at the end of one day often crumble in the morning and Headingley is well known as being a 3rd session place to bat.
