100 lead up, and we've only had 45 minutes play1

Out of interest, does anyone know has a side ever declared twice in a match but ended up losing in the history of cricket?
I reckon there's going to be another hour of batting maybe 90 minutes and we will be throwing them back in.1 -
Big gamble on the weather tomorrow. The latest (BBC) indicates the morning session will be a wash out, but there is a chance of some play during the afternoon.Manic_mania said:Out of interest, does anyone know has a side ever declared twice in a match but ended up losing in the history of cricket?

I think we'll bat until tea and by then we could have a 300 lead as long as the wickets don't start to tumble.2 -

Gary Sobers did it for the West Indies in 1968 on 526-7 and 92-2 respectively. England won by 7 wickets with 3 minutes left of the match.Manic_mania said:Out of interest, does anyone know has a side ever declared twice in a match but ended up losing in the history of cricket?

I know that's what we maybe "should" do (as in what would be expected) but I just have a feeling we are going to keep on doing the unexpected and taking risks, if nothing else but to mess some more with Aussie heads.bobmunro said:

We could have a close to 300 lead in the next 90 minutes anyway tbh0 -
Semantics and being pedantic but Hussain and Cronje agreed to forfeit England's first innings and South Africa's second innings respectively. Cronje was the visionary that Stokes and McCullum have now followed. Let's hope that McCullum isn't seen as being too close to the bookmakers he uses to place his bets withCafc43v3r said:

on the radio yesterday they were debating what a defendable lead is. 300 was the highest suggested (by Gillespie) but if there is time (weather depending) might as well go higher at this scoring rate if we can0

I've seen slower scoring at the midpoint of a 50 over game. This is fantastic to watch , would be aiming for 350-375 lead and then get at them.2
-
That’s a massive hit to our chances FFS0

Root out.
A declaration may well be taken out of our hands0 -
Any way we can get a 300 lead …. I think Stokes will slog and go for 5 or a quick fire 40. Would take the latter at the moment0

The THIRD England player out stumped in a Test match. Alan Knott in 1968 was the last keeper to stump 3 in a Ashes test.

I have a feeling today is the day Bazball Stokes batting really comes off2

England 2.30
Australia 2.30
Draw 7.000 -

Stokes with the 5D chess playing proper Test cricket to begin with0

More importantly, this is the first time an Australian wicket-keeper has taken three stumpings in an Ashes Test since Don Tallon at Sydney. And we all know what happened a few months after that, right?killerandflash said:The THIRD England player out stumped in a Test match.

ball tracking had it missing as well0

A silly shot by Root. The first time he's ever been stumped in Tests, as dancing down the pitch isn't his thing. He doesn't need to, as he's so good at sweeping.0
-
I don't understand why it takes so long to change the ball in a Test match. If the umpires (alone) determine the ball's gone out of shape or is unfairly scuffed up, they should roll the ball off the pitch and the third umpire should chuck the replacement on. Why on earth do they have to go through the ridiculous process of bringing on a suitcase of balls to choose from?
The third umpire - alone - should decide which ball to replace the current one with. And then get on with the bloody game.0 -

squeaky bum time.0

Brook was just looking set and that's a cheap dismissal. Getting a bit worried we're going to get bundled out cheap after an excellent start2
-
I'm no test cricket expert but it looks like a poor day to me0
-
Baz ball at all costs will be England down fall this summer.
I like and now expect good attacking cricket from England but was that shot needed in the last over before lunch when the game is very evenly poised?0 -
That Brooks dismissal looked poor to me just before lunch as well0
-
Poor dismissal - Oz looking favourites now0
