Well that may be the finish of certain fans who watched a resurgent England downplay a pursuit of 378 in the Covid-postponed fifth test against India.
It was the most recent illustration of 'Bazball' in real life, with a seven-wicket win in Birmingham England's fourth fruitful pursue in as many tests under another administration couple of mentor Brendon McCullum and skipper Ben Stokes following a 3-0 whitewash of test title holders New Zealand.
That series saw England pursue down apparently solid focuses of 277, 299 and 296.
No England side, be that as it may, had recently made more to win in the fourth innings of a test than 359, when Stokes' splendid century got a completely exhilarating triumph over Australia at Headingley a long time back.
In any case, with Joe Root (142 not out) and Jonny Bairstow (114 not out) sharing a whole organization of 269, that imprint was redesignd easily at Edgbaston as England finished a five-match series all square at 2-2.
However as well as previous England commander Root and Bairstow batted, they are in-structure and experienced internationals.
Seemingly the best disclosure about England's most recent run-pursue was the means by which they went after it all along, with Alex Lees and Zak Crawley, both of whom had been battling for runs, sharing a century opening substitute 19.5 overs - the quickest in England test history.
'REAL CLARITY'
Stirs up said England's methodology was down to an adjustment of mentality from a group that had won only one of their 17 past tests preceding the New Zealand series.
"At the point when you have real clearness in what you need to accomplish collectively and how you need to play it makes things significantly more straightforward," said Stokes.
"We understood what we planned to do - we realized we were continuously going to go out and attempt to pursue that down at every turn.
"An extraordinary method for making sense of is that groups are maybe better compared to us, however groups will not be more daring than us.
"(Britain spinner) Jack Leach expressed that to me and it is an extraordinary method for bringing everything together right now," the allrounder added.
Scoring runs rapidly in test cricket is the same old thing.
An observed West Indies group once pursued down an objective of 342 inside daily to beat England by nine wickets at Lord's, with opener Gordon Greenidge making an unbeaten twofold 100 years.
Furthermore, the effective Australia groups of the last part of the 1990s and mid 2000s hoped to score at a pace of four for every over to give their bowlers however much time as could be expected to take the 20 wickets expected to win a test.
In any case, on Tuesday, England were scoring at a pace of almost five an over, with the manner in which Root switch scooped medium-pacer Shardul Thakur for six an indication of how T20 shot-production, obscure to past ages, is impacting the more extended game.
Previous New Zealand commander McCullum was credited for being the motivation behind England's ascent from white-ball no-hopers to 2019 50-over World Cup victors and England plainly trust he will have a comparative impact now he is straightforwardly engaged with the test side.
Four matches is a little example size, nonetheless, and had Rishabh Pant remained in for somewhat longer in India's subsequent innings, Stokes may have been conceded a wish where he "nearly believed that them should get 450 (ahead), to see what we did."
India mentor Rahul Dravid, one of the most mind-blowing batsmen of his period, was dazzled by England yet said the manner in which Pant had scored a commonly powerful 146, in a first innings where Ravindra Jadeja likewise made 100, demonstrated Stokes' side didn't have a copyright on going after play.
"At the point when your players are getting along admirably, are in great structure, then, at that point, you can play really decidedly, can take the game forward," said Dravid.
"We additionally showed when Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja were playing in the principal innings - we played quite sure cricket.
"Yet, when two positive players or going after players are in great structure, and can play such a major innings, and that occurs in three to four matches constantly, it looks really great for cricket and furthermore for them."
