I think we want to try to play assertively but not recklessly. We are in the box seat right now, and we want to shut India out of winning the game. At the same time if we can put ourselves in a position to try and win then great. But we don't want to chase a win only to let them back in chance
This is the right of it - a draw is a shared championship, no need to go all out just yet and risk that.
A shared championship on the back of a draw is barely a smidgen above losing the test for me. I'd rather we went for it and lost, then just blocked for a draw. Winning is everything.
I'm with you 100% on this.
Ive got an idea, why don’t they decide a drawn final on who ever scored the most boundaries during the course of the game.
Or an even better idea, which I’m sure the
BCCIICC would jump at - which ever teams country has the highest population? -

Now does anyone know if they can/will start early today, yet?
Someone told me we can get as many as 196 overs in on the last two days? But we'd need to resume play early each day, and/or play on later.
It’s England. Nothing starts early or finishes on time.

@majorrage that may be one of the worst sports "articles" i have ever read
it reads like a bunch of posts on a sports forum from a slightly older, slightly demented member.
Fuck off Mark, no one likes you.
I can think of one or two that fit that description ...
... I make no further comment ...

I am serious that we should try and score at 4 an over + from the start tonight and see what happens. The risk is worth it imo.
This pitch is hard to bat on. Agree we should play assertive cricket (rather than aggressive), but expecting 4/over from the outset is a big ask.
CDG could be a key person for us... 50 quick runs in the context of this game would be sensational. Althouhg - if Pant can't score runs quickly, who can?
Is Pant 2021's unbeatable Springboks? ie., his rep is that he is so awesome he'll win the game on his own?

We're not playing yet, and booboo bedtime only works when we need a wicket.
