2019 1st Ashes Test - Edgbaston 1-5 August 2019

Why is the ABC blogger saying it will take something special to chase anything over 250 batting last?

We've made it to 300 in the second innings with relative ease, and if Roy can get England going early, 250 will look pretty small.

Agree. Lyon will come into it, but this is much better to bat on than the start.

so much spin... how come Ali is not getting any of this haha

*until 2001

Tugga struggled in his last couple seasons relative to the years previous to that, his average only stayed at the 50-51 mark through beating up on a couple very weak Pakistan and Bangladesh sides.

Really filled his boots versus Bangladesh from memory.

England are down a main bowler in Anderson and Moeen Ali is absolute shit.

Lyon is going to be a real handful in the last innings.

Also Roy isn't going to be able to play as freely as ODI cricket.

Rare comeback victory not out of reach for Aussies | cricket.com.au

While Australia haven't won an Ashes Test abroad after conceding a first-innings lead since 1981, a…

If history is anything to go by a chase of 150 or more in the fourth innings is set to be challenging for England, as Australia aim to re-write the record books and come from behind to win at Edgbaston.
At stumps on day three of the first Ashes Test, Australia are 3-124 holding a slender lead of 34 after conceding a first-innings deficit of 90 runs.
Only three times in 14 occasions has a team chased down a target of more than 150 batting last at Edgbaston, with England achieving the feat just once.
Results chasing 150+ in the 4th innings at Edgbaston:
Innings: 14 | Won: 3 | Lost: 8 | Drawn: 3
The highest successful pursuit in Birmingham was 11 years ago when South Africa posted 5-283 to win by five wickets on the back of captain Graeme Smith's unbeaten 154. That five-wicket win by the Proteas was the last time England lost at Edgbaston.

How much time do you think we need to bowl them out ?

How ever much time left after we bat as long as we can. 3 sessions would be good. Maybe 2.

 

[Crashy]

Roots action a bit dodgy?

Ellen actually looks a threat.

If you prepare a green top then Pattinson and Cummins come into play. It’s a two way street...

Can they please stop doing close ups of Bairstow's face by any chance?

Why? I love that look of bewilderment and despair on his face.

Expecting the greenest mamba next match, wherever it's scheduled at.

Its at Lords with no Anderson.

Will be a basic pitch

Depending on how quickly we score, bat till stumps and declare overnight would be the most obvious scenario.

For now, just bat. There's still every chance of being bowled out in an hour after the new ball gets taken.

Kumar is awesome in the commentary box. We need him out here.

Yeah I wouldn’t mind Kumar Sangakarra batting for Australia either.

Aussies would want at least 85 overs at England - enough overs to get a second new ball

What other spin options do england have?

Ali surely can’t hold his place in this side
