Only if you were confident and time permitting that you could roll the side again for a small total and then send your hitters out.
Of course if there wasnt much time or limited time etc, you would bat out and pray the mindas in the middle get the runs
with people like Papas, Gunnerson, Merki and Sports Follower posting on this forum there has been plenty of sh!t posts. but Phantom no offence but i reckon ur post of declaring 20 runs shy of a grand final win with 3 wickets in hand has to take the cake! its just pure 100% rubbish talk. i dont care what batsmen u have to come in next, u just would not do it.
i know if i was on the fielding side, n the battin side only needed 20 runs with 3 wickets in hand i would be praying for somethin special. and if they declared i would be jumping for joy, it would be like all my christmas' have come at once. i doubt any team in history in any form of cricket in any country in the world has declared in that situation and i honestly doubt it will ever happen in the future. for your own teams sake i would hope if u make the grand final, n ur captain... that ur team doesnt need 20 with 3 wickets remaining to win the game
