Was kinda hoping they would enforce the follow on so I could watch the Open golf on Sunday without having to split my attentions but think it is a million to one.

Would a more aggressive captain bowl again ?

Psychologically I like bowling again.

a half decent second innings should dispirit the aussies even more

even a disaster will be enough

For the first test I wasn't sure about ndrew Strauss as a commentator but think he is really starting to do well.  Possibly his voice just took a bit of getting used to?

They really are falling apart prior would have snaffled that catch easy from root there! Hope he punishes them with 100 now!

Worst case scenarios for 4th innings:

Follow on enforced: England need 150 to win

Not enforced: Australia need 380 to win

Which is better for England?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Not enforcing the follow on (in this instance with the time left in the game)

Don't want to bat last under almost any circumstances

England have already got enough with Swann on a 4th innings pitch against these batsmen
