Crash Hamster Jul 2014 11:35am, 30 Jul 2014 336 posts	0 Crash Hamster I think it's time to go sloggers for 4 or 5 wickets; I'd like to see us get 180in about 45 overs, which would leave India with over 400 to get in 130 overs ish.
Heavyweight Jul 2014 11:37am, 30 Jul 2014 899 posts	0 Heavyweight They won't declare before they've got another 200 - giving them less than 4 sessions to bowl them out.
The Teaboy Jul 2014 11:39am, 30 Jul 2014 11,341 posts	0 The Teaboy Bat for 45-50 overs. With this lineup, should be able to get 220-250. No excuses, lots of horsepower lower down. Sensible-ish until lunch, then swing the willow after.
TRO Sarasummer Jul 2014 11:42am, 30 Jul 2014 9,088 posts	0 TRO Sarasummer Swing the willow from the off. Target must be to give them a nasty 20 mins before tea. Too passive at this point of the game would be a mistake (and one of Cook's failings). Foot on throat time.

The Teaboy Jul 2014 11:44am, 30 Jul 2014 11,343 posts	0 The Teaboy Perhaps a bit of pressure-off positivity will do well for Cook's strokemaking?

TRO Sarasummer Jul 2014 11:51am, 30 Jul 2014 9,089 posts	0 TRO Sarasummer Worry is that Cook will nurdle away at 2 an over to get another 'score' on his ledger as opposed to putting team first with quick scoring. We shall see....
