The Ashes

[d000hg]

I think there might be a sniff of follow-through on the air...


Yes I know, it was a deliberate mistake

[d000hg]

Now it's more of a stench.

Now it's more of a stench.

An interesting days play to wake up to.

Not sure, i reckon the Aussies are going to hit 450+ on this wicket.

They are going to have to break a few 10th wicket records to get that score

[Doggy Styles]

I wouldn't be surprised if we batted and didn't enforce the follow-on.

• If Australia stop p1ssing about and set us a target, batting last could be tricky.
  
• It would give the bowlers a rest after what has been a pretty warm day.
  
• There's plenty of time left so it gives us a chance for batting practice.

You'd think Cook and a few others would like to bat again to make amends for 1st innings shambles.

I think it depends on the weather, if it is a scorcher forecast for tomorrow Cook may want to protect his ballers. If it is cloudy, the ball will swing a bit and may want to tray and get the Aussies out cheaply (again)

[Ketchup]

Is it too early to be hoping for a follow on?

Apparently not, all out

[Platypus]

Blimey -- all out in 1/2 a day !!

Forecast is good. Time to set them 500 to win in two days.
