 !It should be a great batting day! England may well bat well in the second innings today to try and right the wrongs by playing themselves in. That is why I think Clarke might just tell his boys to belt it around and hope the pitch deteriorates. Smash 200 odd in 35 / 40 overs. I know an opening partnership is beyond England but whenever Aus have had a decent opening stand they have gone on top score ( or it seems that way to me ). It is too easy to say 1 + 1 = 2 ( but it does! ). I am not sure I would enforce today and ordinarily I am not against it. |

but then England can't really win from here so they might as well enforce.

I think the weather questions is now when and if not if

|

By:
If the Eng tail manage to bat 20 overs (a big IF) it gets very interesting with the the weather in prospect.
|
|
By:
what weather like for Sunday

By:
hi all
|
|
By:
australia will not enforce follow on cause there is a unlikely threat of England getting big total of 500 and this will bring draw into play
|
|
By:
australia likely to bat 50 overs today to set 550 total
|
|
By:
why are our openers batting at 9 and 10?
|
|
By:
have you seen the forecast slip5?
1.05 he enforces the follow-on. |
|
By:
not even remotely surprising.
|
|
By:
If the follow on is enforced ,why not get Moen Ali to open?
|
|
By:
frigging Cook needs to get some runs
he's done jack this series |
|
By:
good knock at lord's. if anything i'm most concerned about how he's played lyon.
Bodes miserably for the UAE tour. |
|
By:
nice call slip!
 |
|
By:
get a single Cook ffs!
|

By:
Cook playing for a dominant victory as per usual.....
|

By:
pitched leg stump hit the top of off stump
|
|
By:
lyth is useless
|
|
By:
laughing with you slip!
strangely. I would have considered batting on. I have doubts as to whether Enlgand can play Test Match Cricket. They ought to be able to bat all day today and some tomorrow! |
|
By:
unless you have a world class attack you should not enforce follow on
|
|
By:
that was always going to happen!
|
|
By:
there goes the walking wicket
|
|
By:
lyth played because he was from yorkshire ccc, where most appear to get an extended run
 , there are much better openers on the county circuit, for instance Hales !! how on earth bairstow keeps getting in, i will never know , having said that england have won the ashes, more to do with Australia not even turning up !! |

Is "rock and roll it" accepted terminology?

laughing with you slip! strangely. I would have considered batting on. I have doubts as to whether Enlgand can play Test Match Cricket. They ought to be able to bat all day today and some tomorrow! ought to..unfortunately in test cricket u only get 2 inns..if there were 3 or 4 they might just about limp into 2moro |
|
By:
yes Johhny
next man out Ding Dong 1.72! He doesn't want to be there. |
|
By:
doesn't deserve to be there..more like..very overrated smug little pr*ck imho
|
|
By:
Good call.
Focus has been on Lyth's series but Bell and Buttler have had shockers too. |
|
By:
yup, all three needed to be dropped for this match!
and still no Rashid! Does anybody in managedment answer questions? |
|
By:
everything will be glossed over because we won the ashes
technically we did but more by luck than design with some sh*te selection choices which Stevie W could see were palpably wrong if this series were being played out in top business the courts would be replete with cases of malpractice far from being the archetypal enemy in this series the aussies have been absolute bosom buddies Root has shone..i like Stokes also tho' he can try and be the hero a tad too much Broad had one unbelievable egregious spell..Finn deserves kudos other than that..they don't impress me much(apologies to Shania Twain) |

By:
Stevie W being Steve Waugh right?

By:
1) Eng could bat for an hour+
2) Clarke may not enforce 3) Eng may follow on but get to 100-1 Well that didn't work so it's over to plan B. 1) The Spanish plume.  As has been pointed out, it's on its way. Rather like Wellington at Waterloo, hold fast men, the Prussians are coming! |
