Do England Bazball there way out of this or do they need to resort back to traditional batting. Going to test their nerve thats for sure.

For a bloke with a history of racist and anti Muslim tweets it definitely doesn’t look too bright to give Khawaja a send off like that

Always love watching at bowler give a batsmen a send off after he has just scored 100+

100% back your system and keep going.

We all new bazball would be tested at some point.

Crawley should get a kick up the ass for batting like that.

Knew I should've taken the draw last night when the Aussies were still batting.

Still paying $4.60 for a draw which i think is quite good odds with day 5 potentially being halted for most of the day!

Good logic Sticks
BUT
The ultra attacking England might declare and set Australia a target where one of sides has to win

Being the type of bloke Usman is he probably would have said “thanks for the advice, I’ll take it on board and be better next time “

Have to say I am enjoying bazball
I only watch test cricket - this has added some spice without turning it into hit and giggle

I'm loving that the game is always been moved forward in an attacking manner - no real "lulls" or dead periods - and not just advantage batting side to be fair - we have seen 800+ runs and 20 wickets in 3 days.

If Stokes is true to his word that's exactly what he will do.

That would be the definition of stupidity if England went hard and put Australia in let’s say by or before tea today. If they get lesser rain tomorrow they are then absolutely stuffed.

Pitch hasn't deteriorated enough, I don't think England will be dumb enough to set the Aussies a gettable total with ample time.

They'll put themselves in a strong position to either win or draw - not open the door for the Aussies.

That will be driven by the weather.
I think Stokes will give us a nibble, he doesn't want draws.

He won't get a chance, we'll roll through them before lunch.
