No way, we have never chased this many, we have a habbit of losing lots of wickets quickly. I would sughgest we would need to get less than 100 and have lots of wickets left for us to be fave's. I predict we lose by over 100Quote:

I expect a more experienced Cricket follower would be better placed here.
They’ve be hovering around 10/1 for most of today...so a 9% chance.
Since Australia burnt their reviews England are now 6/1 or a 14% chance.
If they get through today with no more wickets I think they would be around about a 3/1 to 7/2 chance or ie 22% to 25% chance.
Which is fair given a collapse can happen at any moment.
Around 320-330 odd.Quote:

I am quite happy that they have even made some sort of a game of it.
Good to see that there are multiple sports that you can suck the joy out of, Peter.Quote:
