It doesn’t look good:
If the match gets washed out tomorrow, Australia’s hope of winning would be to declare immediately, bowl out England cheaply and try to hit the winning runs, considering that rain is also expected on Sunday. This avoids the innings break and perhaps makes use of the conditions in the morning. If England is out for less than 150, that is around 100 runs to chase. License to throw the bat around. Even if the match ends in a draw, it sets up the momentum for the next Test.
England, at this point, only has the hope of a draw, unless the match goes completely against what we have seen so far.
the infamous british collapse was well on its way.
if it wasn’t for the rain, i’d have laughed through an otherwise boring saturday evening.
BTW, added u up on the blogroll.
cheers!
Yes, they escaped today. Let’s see if they survive another 98 overs!
