interesting stat here off bbc How's stat?! Posted at13:32 The lowest totals England have failed to chase: 85 - Scored 77 v Australia, The Oval, 1882 124 - Scored 62 v Australia, Lord's, 1888 124 - Scored 120 v Australia, Manchester, 1902 137 - Scored 64 v New Zealand, Wellington, 1978 145 - Scored 72 v Pakistan, Abu Dhabi, 2012 if england lose this it would be second worst in history and worst since 1888.
FFS england dream team at bat. bell and lyth after cook blows it again. 27/1 though... not too bad.. just get 20 runs per wicket.... easy this.
bell is getting on with it. he's seen positive batsmen rewarded on this pitch.. only needs one 50 and this is over.
bell's just gone for it... he's been dropped and is just taking to australia. 47/1 nearly done this one... if the rest of england lads take this attitude they'll smashe this lot. 8 overs done.
12 He's ****e. He's surely just played his last innings of this series? Anderson out of the next test, that could end up being the deciding factor of the Ashes.......
root and bell.... 59 on the board.. england have 7 wickets left assuming anderson is not coming out so.... 62/7 = 9 runs a man from here.
probably. he's thinking job done right now half way there now and rooooooooottttt... on strike. root and bell... should not see another wicket go down i reckon.
i'm off this will be over before i am home so i am saying. YESSSSS WE WON!!!!!! now to be first to do so.
