FYI Highest successful chases at Lord's:
If the boys get 200+, you'd say it begins to get very much out of reach for a 4th innings chase.
That being said, with Bazball, and the overall runrate, we're pretty well ahead of timing being the 3rd day, so who knows if that puts it out of whack.
Still. 209 (and an overall 300), should be a very good total if history is to go by.
EDIT: That being said, the 3rd entry was by the current England side and were only 5 down, using Bazball. So who bloody knows.

the other really dumb thing on bazball was that with how quickly they bat, even without lyon they're not putting the overs into the legs of the quicks and grinding them down.
unless they're able to bully a team it just doesnt work

Good call. Also Hussey was the best front foot cover driver. I loved Punters on and off drive. When he was driving straight he was on
Bazball exposed for the fraud that it is.
Uz and Warner knuckling down like real test players as opposed to the hit and giggle sugar hit that the English have fallen in love with
0-102 but we will play for a draw.
We are on the backfoot because of bazball and we are too negative in pur fields.
We won't go toe to toe with England and they are in our heads.
Black is white, up is down and Brexit was a great idea.

I know we love Glenn McGrath but I would have loved it if Geoffrey Boycott was channel 9's lunchtime guest at Lord's.

Agreed. It's just dumb cricket. You need gears in test cricket. They are being shown up by a team who are playing the moment
They apparently have got in Australia's head, and feel like they are winning.

Runs on the board and overs into the legs of the Englad bowlers. The more of each of these things we get the better the series looks for us

Every replay of that Green catch gets better
Close to the bat and just managed to hold it in fingers after being blindsided

"We actually won the morning session. Our aggressive stance and reckless abandonment of caution and sense, struck fear into the enemy and only empowered our Bazballs further".
