Bat for half hour in the morning, let Root get 200 and lead of over 600 then stick them in to scrap for survival.

What's the rush?
There are still two days to go, and how long are Australia likely to survive against Anderson and Broad first, then Swanny? Two sessions? Three at the most?
I reckon the declaration will come after an hour tomorrow morning, or when Joe Root gets his inevitable double hundred.

England should learn from Gohan's mistake and finish us before we self destruct and kill everyone

That's what I'd do. Give a licence to slog, Prior looking jittery.

Scaly couldn't fine a bloody positive if it was on a triple word score.
Yeah that is one of the biggest overreactions I've ever seen. Horrific innings? He faced 40 balls. Who gives a ****.
Terrific innings from Root. Was given a life and made them pay badly, superb talent and delighted he can now start to nail down the opener slot. Bell was lucky to not be out obviously but he looked in great touch. Top run scorer for the series momentum continues for him. I'd have like to declare and have 5 overs at them but as mentioned earlier a cynic would suggest that day 5 is profitable and tbh if it gives the ECB more money then its a good thing.

Yea of course, it's perfectly fine to put yourself first instead of rotate the strike or actually score some ****ing runs when you're in a declaration situation.

You telling me Jamie Redknapp is lying when he tells me people are on fire?

I think they rightly recognise that creeping Americanisations like "ass" demand immediate action.
