They starting to kick on now, so fair enough, just would liked to have a go at them tonight, and could have, I am treating this as day 4 of the match not day 3, always good to have a few overs at the opposition before the last day in this situation.

They were always going to kick on man. Did you seriously think we were going to keep going at 2 an over until close?
These are a decent attack, blunt them then make hay. Been really good sensible test cricket.

Nobody on the thread has mentioned gung ho, just a few people on the thread and the guys commented on Sky have suggested correctly imo, the rate should have be higher and a bit more positive.

Once again the whole point is they may be only 4 left, however like I said all a bit irrelevant as reckon we will easily.

He slags people off for "saying" things he has made up.
Must stop confusing the voices in your head with what people are actually saying old chap ;)

Okay, stop this silly talk, let's go for something else, would you declare today and put them in for a bit before close?
I personally would.
Think we will win regardless mind.

Read the thread and you’ll see a lot of criticism. If you want to interpret that as slagging off then that’s up to you.

Seems we all agree now that that we are in a great position which justifies the platform set by Burns and Sibley.

No just thought we were nearly 200 ahead when we started so were never ever going to lose the game imo, and thought because of the healthy lead and forecast we could have scored a bit quicker to give ourselves as much time as possible to win the game, a positive mentality.

What silly talk? It’s a difference of opinion, mine just happens to be the right one.

If we get 400 on then I’d have a dip at them yes.

Get rolled for 150 by going silly then we could very well have lost the game or made things more uncomfortable than necessary.

We are going to be 400 on by end. I really don’t understand what more people wanted.

Your opinion of batting really slowly to reach a target of 400 by lunch Tuesday is not the right one.

We are scoring at over 3 an over. Ends has justified the means.

Just going round in circles here, once again nobody said go silly, just push on earlier.

We were never ever in a million years ever going to lose this game after the first innings, we should never had let losing enter our heads after the first innings.

Sibley getting out was a positive for this game,

It is really simple what people wanted to get they quicker to give us more time to bowl them out!

NOBODY HAS SAID WE SHOULD HAVE COME OUT PLAYING LIKE IT'S A 20/20

Also 150 runs is probably enough to win this match anyway

Isn't it odd that these threads have been chilled and friendly....then Jardine arrives and immediately starts slagging people off.
