Yup as Allan Border famously said on day 3 at Headingly in 1993 when we were 4/857 at stumps on day 2 (well close enough to 857.....)
"We're batting on to cause them more physical and mental disintegration..."

Nah don’t agree…..the mental thing of having openers come out and bat 5-10overs at the end of a day is much worse.
No disrespect Whuffer, But I'll take Allan Borders views on captaincy over yours....
Your wrong mate
Headingly was the fourth test in that Ashes and we were 2-0 up in the series. A draw was going to secure the ashes against an England team on the ropes. Makes sense in that situation.
Completely different situation here, this is our one moment in the series that we might get to win the thing
