Thanks for the help and advice. I know that there is roughly 27/28 overs per session, so from that i can workout that with it being nearly lunch on the 3rd day there should be roughly 200 odd overs left so i reckon with the cpu pacing i should have around 120 overs to bat out or win the game. (I think 350 is a real chance for me althoguh it will be my highest score for chasing on Cric04.)

Believe me, chasing 350 is not easy.
I think there is a chance but you are certainly right it is hard, even harder when i have only socre abotu 200 before to win a test match on cric04 and in this match they already lead by 158. Thanks for the support.

Well have a look at the 1st test of my current series. Gibbs was doing the same to me in both innings.

South Africa are in a superb position. You will now have to South Africa are in a superb position. You will now have to sit down and play out for a draw. Its strange that the CPU hasnt declared yet. (maybe after 400 lead he will)
End of Innings 11:56am Day 4
South Africa 302-6 Dec. (66 overs)
England (user) require 461 to win.
England are now in a difficlut position requiring an seeming impossible 361 to win and if they want the draw still just under 2 days to bat. England started day 4 in terrible fashion with the first few overs before the decleration going for 40 odd runs, however 2 quickets courtesy of S.Harmison and M.Hoggard ensure the decleration was hastened.
The backbone of the South African 4th inngins was H.Gibbs who hit a magnificant and quick 130 before getting dismissed. South African captain went for an uncharacteristic 16 after having M.Hoggard uproat his off stump.
Gibbs smahses it for 4.
Smith gest bowled by Hoggard
Gibbs reaches his 100.
South African utilised the hard pitch again hitting anything to full for a boundary. However soemtimes the haste took over and wickets were loss. This is evident when J.Kallis was dismissed for 0 after trying to force a quick single against A.Giles. M.Hoggard was the pick of the bolwers taking 3 wickets including 2 clean bowls.
England strat there 4th innings looking fro a draw to stop this rampagin South Africa team, however the only question looming is whether England can hold on and whether M.Vaughans team can bat out the seeming impossible.
Summary:
South Africa 1st Innings 499-6 Dec.
G.Smith 88
England 1st Innings 341 all out
A.Strauss
South Africa 2nd Innings 302-6 Dec.

Ouch! You gonna go for it? You've got enough time. Whether you do or not, you will need to bat brilliantly to get out of this one. Good luck mate!tjh1989 said:

Well my East London test got over in 3 days, and highest score was 211 by South Africa in the 1st innings. Its been a totally different story in your case.
Well South Africa have got enough time to bowl you out, but I guess you can try and bat out for a draw.
