We should just declare and get stuck into them.
With the runs we already have on the board the Aussies will need to see out 5 sessions just to secure a draw, with the forecast as it is it makes no sense to bat on, though I expect we will for an hour or so as Strauss can be quite a cautious captain.
i wonder if in some kind of way it might be better if the aussies rip through us this morning. it would get rid of all doubt regarding a declaration and the english bowlers would get some confidence if the pitch misbehaves a bit, especially swann.
