I won't ask the next question then.
I was tempted to ask the same question. One more and I assume they are fúcked?in order for us to get excited about the possibility of winning this test?
Surely if we get to the end of play with 7 wickets in hand and need less than 200 we'd be favourites?
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 100

Not sure as obviously the batting quality is diluted as you go down the order so an average of 30 per batter is quite high given the stakes etc.
Obviously you are greatly aided by one of your better chaps having some *******s and getting an individually high score.
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.in order for us to get excited about the possibility of winning this test?
There is virtually no chance whatsoever of this happening. It is perfectly gettable, the wicket is ok. It would require a combination of skill, patience and incredible discipline and there is not one player in this England side who has that.
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.
Even at this festive time of year.
