This partnership to bat out the day. If they don't, I'll have McGrath in my avatar for the next month.

Depends how much time is left. If they have an entire session, I think they can chase down 200 with some of the explosive bats they have.Arrow said:

What are they offering? In the prices Greiggy just announced, there's better money to be made on a draw around now, but that might just be TAB.Jono said:Go Bet365. Its worth getting an account there just to have a punt on this match lol

I've always said that I think to be safe when it comes to a final-day run-chase, you need to set the opposition something upwards of five an over to win. It's pretty easy to keep run rates below that in Test cricket if you're not trying to take wickets. That'd mean England need to set them 200 in 40 overs to win, which won't happen unless the scoring picks up.Arrow said:
As it stands Australia would need 138 in just over 50 overs to win if England were bowled out without scoring any more. If England manage 2 runs an over for the next 10 overs then 160 in 40 overs becomes very interesting, and if they manage any more runs than that or bat for any longer it's gonna be a cracker.

To be fair to Giles, he outbowled Monty in every warm-up. The difference is though, their effectiveness in Test Matches. Giles hasn`t bowled enough, and Monty was the man of the English summer. Not to mention these pitches will offer more assisstance for turn than in the warm-ups, which plays in Panesar`s favour.
EDIT: Also, I like Monty`s bustling approach to the crease compared to Giles. Panesar is like Hoggard in his speed back to his mark, and aggression towards bowling. Australian decks are more likely to reward that IMO.
