OVER = Too big

And the reason, that it is too big a price, is because England won't be declaring, until they they have got too many for the Windies and they are unable to chase them down, in the overs left. So I'd say a lead of 350 in 70 overs would be safe, possibly 75 overs. Now if we get to that point, then there will be a chance of a big Windies collapse, but the draw price currently is big. England of course could have a collapse, where the draw would be impossible, without rain, but an England collapse looks very unlikely.

No declaration, England are 1-0 up in the series

Tom for the whole test you have repeatedly told us it wont be a draw and draw backers were on a hiding.No sooner England get 130 lead with 5 wickets left half way through day 5 and Tom pronounces to the forum that England will bat forever........Shocking after timing twisting and turning in an attempt to back out of all the drivel you have been spouting........
