*** The Ashes Thread ***

517-1 declared, what a day so far! England have never made 500 runs for the loss of just one wicket, it's an incredible turn-around as we're putting the Aussies in bat with a draw secure and the pressure on them to not collapse. Can this day get any better?

You could put yourself into a winning position instead of a safe drawing one?

Pretty difficult considering the conditions. There just weren't enough overs left to do this imo or we didnt rack up enough runs to declare with enough overs left. Considering after first innings we were fucked and the chance that aussies thought 'yeah! ship it!' after there 250 lead, i think we did pretty well to draw. The aussies should be pretty deflated after fucking up from their winning position.
