4th test Manchester

I wouldn’t declare tonight. Up by 200 some point tomorrow morning then I’m all for it.

Doing it with less than that will just give them a boost.

What would Australia want most right now, to be batting and get ahead of England, every run they score we then have to score.
Dont rely on weather, set the game up now whilst we are on top

Honestly declaring when we did at the first test was so stupid imo

Made absolutely no difference man. England gave away half a century of extras and failed to take two wickets from tailenders with 60 runs left on the board. England were in a winning position final day until about ten minutes from close. They fucked it in the field. And credit where its due, Cummins was outstanding.

It is a fluke. When he does it multiple times, I’ll praise him. Or even just every now and again. 1 hundred in 61 innings isn’t praiseworthy for me.

So let’s get this straight once and all with a yes and no answer please.

Has Crawley batted well today and does he deserve praise for today?

Surely you not seriously saying the fastest 150 ever by a England player against Australia is a fluke?
 
I am with the commentator on TMS now. Keep going tonight and get the runs we need tonight with the weather good, the bowlers tired and an old ball. There really should be some penalty for the Aussie over rate mind and I don't mean a fine. Something like extra runs added at twice the average for the innings for every over not bowled.

One good score out of 61 is exactly the definition of a fluke.

An unlikely chance occurrence, especially a surprising piece of luck

He’s been good today, but it’s still by very definition a fluke.
