I guess so. I'd have settled for batting practice. Then again, no championship points on this so why not practice trying to squeeze out a win?
Good challenge and a great no fear attitude. Cool
Unless it's just Rossco trying to bash himself into form.

I think we go hard. A test win is a test win regardless of WTC. It also gives more players a go if we lose a few wickets.

Ross just went 'ping'. Great strike

@nzzp that is and always will be the quintessential Taylor shot!🙂

[Snowy]

That is also why umpires call is bullshit.

[Siam]

That Latham hoik must indicate we're setting a target...I hope

Untill it works for us😉

At least we don't lose a review i guess

I really didn't put that well. If we use tech, we use it. Out is out. Whatever the umpire has said I don't think is as accurate as the tech.

Looks we are thinking about having a go at this

[Siam]

@snowy you mean just dispense with the margin of error consideration? Fair enough. Would that mean tv review of every decision though? Again, no argument from me but it'd take time

[Siam]

@voodoo bat for one session, use 2 to roll them i guess

Yes to the reviews from teams or umps. Not every decision.

Also yes to the game position.

[Siam]

@snowy we'd have to review every single appeal though wouldn't we?

Sub continent.....?

Will be fun whatever the result!

Set them 300+ to win. Lots more cloud today so the ball will swing.

Possibility of rain and dodgy light this afternoon that might come to England's rescue:

I edited that for clarity. Not every decision. Just the reviews.

[Damo]

England's ridiculous review earlier cost them a review which would have been successful.

I would have put in De Grandhomme ahead of Watling.

Yep. We don't need to bat for time, just runs, to have a crack at a win. We can shut up shop if we need to and BJ would be the man if CDG has failed. If it worked we could be on for a win.

[sparky]

Taylor gone 133 for 5. Lead 236.

[sparky]

Lead up to 252.

[Chris B.]

@sparky I can tell by the way these guys are playing this that they're going to set a less challenging target than I'm comfortable with!

300 off 70?
