Having not enforced the follow on, I thought the idea would be to attack the bowling, Get a 400 lead as early as possible to give the bowlers plenty of time to bowl them out again. Instead we've been trundling along at 2.8 at an over .... at least Ballance has finally woken up and we're approaching a 300 lead ....

Bat till tea again and give ourselves 4 sessions. Was never the plan to score them quickly.

Too defensive as always.
 
RR is over 4 now like. only need another quickfire 100-120.

Gan hell for leather after lunch and get the Indians back in before tea. Even if we lose wickets going for it, we'll still manage to get the 400plus safe score now like.

Haway Cooky, gan for it, show us youve got some balls. We need 4.5 sessions to bowl them out like.
 
We could still declare now or on 380 and have a bowl before tea and have us winning as the most likely result, but we probably won't.

We've got a lead of 382 now, we should declare.
 
Going along at up to 5 an over, lovely. With 140+ overs left in the game, we simply aren't going to declare yet.

I hope they bet on to let the skip get his century, just to see some of you plums explode. :lol:

If he does it by tea then fair enough. But with 18 more runs on the board we'll be setting them the task of beating the highest succesful chase.
