40 odd lead after first innings. If we get the Kiwis out by around 2.30pm we can win it.....

Argh, I'm boring myself with the complaining I've been making about the game today.

Well England have been boring me more :icon_razz More positive play could have seen us with a 120 lead and really in the driving seat. 40 was nothing and now thats wiped out our chances of the win are over.

Perhaps something more radical was needed. I think getting up to their score quickly and declaring on level terms might have been an idea. It would have turned it into a one innings contest with plenty of time left.

Vaughan got his hundred though, thats the important thing

Are you insane?

 

[glyn]

Are you insane?

If we'd have got the Kiwis 150-200ao by 2.30pm, we could have knocked off a 20/20 style run chase.

A long long shot, but that was the only way a result was coming.

What was it all about, as soon as he made his ton he gave orders for the tailenders to have a bash. good of him to protect himself to get into three figures though :icon_roll
