NARC Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 We had to declare because at the end of the fifth day if there are any Australians still batting then we have a draw (as happened) we declared to try and give ourselves enough time to bowl out the Aussies and win the match.Had we not declared it would have been a certain draw.Thanks for the info, I hope you're English though!'mon the Aussies.

delboy Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 a fair point, there is much less arrogance associated with the english cricket team. what a finish again? i'm just pleased to see england putting the aussies who are the best team in the world under lots of pressure. i dont think we'll get the ashes back but its great that going into the fourth test we still have a great chance!!!!
