So if Gloucestershire bowl them out for, say, a 200 run lead do you think they will bother to try and chase it down or will they just bat out the last day, a la Surrey??
I think we will bowl them out, the only question as always will be how long we have. Any lead from what we have now is very healthy, we may well declare mid PM if we are still batting. Allow more time and bat again if needed.
