If Brook had been bowled when he made room against Hazelwood, the game would feel so different at the close, so I feel they should try and and get past Australia's score with positive but not too risky batting then accelerate later especially as bowlers be feeling the effects somewhat of a full day bowling.
Oscar the Grouch Jun 2023 9:11pm, 29 Jun 2023 6,242 posts	0 Oscar the Grouch I mentioned to Nico on the Fetch cricket wire that I would play on Duckett's ego and set a field accordingly. I had it short and wide outside of off with a packed gully/third man region, but it's the same thing. Play on their ego and it might cost you 20-30. It won't cost you the match. Brainless cricket from England at that stage.

If they can rattle up 600, and bowl Australia out for 50, that gives us the promised 150 run win, albeit with an innings to go with it.
