I dunno if I'd enforce the follow-on...Australia have no spinner and Siddle's got food poisoning, so I might have a quick smash at them.

It depends on the conditions tomorrow for me. If it's cloudy stick them back in, if it's sunny probably have a bat. Either way we win from here.

Yeah, definitely now (I'm following BBC commentary and wrote that before I saw they were off for bad light lol!) |

Will be another on/off day tomorrow, difficult for the batsmen to get settled in. |

Strauss thinks the pitch will stop offering anything to the bowlers after the 3rd day so we need to enforce the follow on and get them out quick.
Good day though!

England's work is not done yet though. Johnson is the new batsman and, if he could bowl, he'd be an all-rounder

I wouldn't mind us batting again if we weren't such pussies when it comes to declaring. Strauss won't declare unless he gets a lead of 550, brings the draw back in. Should have enforced the follow on.

They can got close to a a lead of 550 today though. Strauss will probably want 800 to be sure though.  |

If Johnson bowls 20 overs today we could be 800 in front tonight!
With so much time left in the game i really don't think it made much difference whether we enforced the follow on or not. I actually think it's rarely the correct decision to make a side follow on.
Botham really pisses me off with his criticism of Strauss, like he was ever in a position to enforce the follow on when he was captain.

Hmmm i actually don't mind not enforcing it, looks like a good batting day at the moment. What we don't know is how the England bowlers are feeling, I am sure giving Freddie a rest played a part.

Exactly, and it's perfect batting conditions at present so let's make hay while the sun shines and bowl when it suits. Remember that Strauss has been captain of Middlesex for years now and understands Lords as well as anyone. |
