That was a massive effort by the tail, adding 110 for the last 3 wickets has kept us in the match... just.

The game will be won and lost tomorrow. Have to bowl them out for around 250 max. Anymore than that and we're done.

Yet I sit there at midnight... waiting for them to turn it on, why?!?

That innings brought back memories of watching Boycott & co crawling along.

And they’re 34 from 20 balls. Horrible horrible.
Marnus and Uzzi hang your heads in shame.
Captain cumball has no idea. Now Buckley levels of “he must go” for mine.
Series is drawn (4.5 overs is enough). English will be unbearable. Piers will sooooook.

I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm ☔️

If we have the right attitude, this is winable. 2 days to get 400 runs. bat smart, defend the bad balls, take the singles, smack the bad ones.

The pitch is good, just break it down. 70 runs per session minimum, 1 wicket per session maximum and we're there. No need to go bunta, Englands fast scoring means they leave the opposition lots of time to chase and ensure their bowlers get F all rest. Ours to win.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
