Have we taken some risk in declaring early?

[fineleg]

I feel so, am sure half the ICF disagrees, and some like SightForTheGods agree. I feel we have given that teeny weeny chance for Pak to secure a historic win. We should have secured our 1-0 lead, instead of opening it up even a little bit. Hope that does not happen.

F'leg, In the couple of thousands of test matches that have been played so far, I dont think the team batting last has EVER scored 340 in 80 overs. We are not losing this, even if Pakistan are 120 off 20 overs.

There have been 3 boundaries scored and I am feeling a little tense with this total. There is no need for us to declare early at all. We are 1-0 up! Let me tell you why: Pak can play safe till Tea. They can play safe - lose one or two wickets. After Tea, one can bet they will attack, with WICKETS-IN-HAND. Thats when the tension will increase? Do you think this cannot happen? Please tell me, I am really a bit worried, maybe I will take a break to calm myself!!!

1. Keep wickets in hand - play reasonable normal cricket till Tea

2. Play very aggressive after Tea with only one or two wickets gone before that.

Finey, A small challenge to you. Find me one , just one occasion from history to show the team batting last scored 340 in 80 overs to win the match. If you do, you get $25 K from me.
