Despite what Valley Floyd Red said the forecast is pretty decent for tomorrow and Monday. We definitely did the right thing batting again and should be able to bowl them out in 2 days.We may even bat on for an hour in the morning as it's more than possible to get 522 in 180 overs. But say 580 off 165 overs is much harder.

True...guess it really depends which sort of our bowling attack turn up!

We've had bad weather throughout the tests so far, the problem tomorrow is that it will be showery and windy. Difficult conditions to bowl in. The Aussies are well capable of getting 500 odd runs in two days as they have already proved in Wales.
Gotta say I'm enjoying this sooooooooo much. I've lived over here for 16 years, and the shit I've recieved from my lesser aussie mates has been unrelenting! Great fun!
It's so good to see our attack being consistant with line and lenth. Glen MGrath was always applying this same pressure with nearly every ball. Great bowling from the boys.

I'm a bit nervous that if we don't get those few extra runs to make sure, we might regret it!
It would also be a nice send off for Freddie...

England declared on 311-6.
Convicts need 522 to win.
