At what score do you declare ?

That is the one issue with this, Strauss has a habit of being a little too cautious when declaring.

Hopefully if we crack on today we can take stock at the end of play, consider the weather and have the best part of two days to bowl at them.

As Warne has just said , in the first test we only managed to get 6 aussie wickets :roll:

To win at cricket you simply have to bowl the other team out , if you want to win a game you surely should make that your priority

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Yes 6 wickets on a pitch that offered very little to the bowlers, beleive me Lords is a whole different wicket that favours seam bowlers

So you bowl at them when you have the best chance of doing it.

Compare our success in the favourable conditions yesterday to the struggles of removing two tail enders this morning in unfavourable ones.

Look at how easy this wicket has played for us in this innings - let the Aussies bat on this then we could have been looking at having to bat last on day five chasing a score in conditions helping the bowlers.

But the conditions are favouring the batters massively today and the ball isn't doing much but tommorow with cloud cover and moisture in the air the ball will move around more which will help the bowlers. You've gotta play to conditions and were still in the driving seat.

Last night the aussie batsmen played stupid shots they should have been leaving well alone

This morning for some strange reason we were bowling totally differently , sticking everything outside of off stump

One down, Cook goes for 32, leg before. 61/1

And in comes Bopara, if he doesn't get a decent score here, thats his series done for.

Better tell our lot then

We are not playing the conditions , we are playing the Australians

If you think too much about the conditions you are not paying attention to the opposition
