Matt Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Huh? Why didn't we enforce the follow on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starvinho Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Huh? Why didn't we enforce the follow on? Not really sure. Maybe because it's a good batting pitch? Be good if we can bat out the rest of today and most of tomorrow, get a 500/600 lead then have 2 days to bowl them out. Not that we'll need that long!

Chris2K Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 3 answers to questions posed in the thread: 1 - Swann's wicket of Rogers wasn't a no ball as he's a slow bowler so there's not a no ball for above waist height. 2 - The snickometer isn't used for DRS because it's not instantanious, it takes two-three minutes to get a snickometer result so they can't use it without greatly delaying the game each time. 3 - England have a habit of never enforcing the follow on in recent times, they believe it's best to attempt to build an insurmountable lead and then not bat last chasing on a pitch which is likely to have deteriorated.

Chris2K Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 It's getting ridiculous how badly almost everybody is batting. Root's lucky to be there after Haddin decided not to bother trying catching him but at least he's keeping his head for the moment whilst everyone else is losing their minds.

Plubby Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Stuart Broad nearly stormed the field to call for a review before he realised the umpires had already sent it upstairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 This is just silly now. Is this how it felt for the Aussies back pre-2005? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I'm glad Joe Root's a member of the board, saw my comments and decided to prove me wrong. I take full credit for his success. This is getting a little tiresome now, Australia aren't going to make 300 on this pitch let alone 500. It's almost like the MCC have told Alistair Cook not to declare until they can guarantee getting the money in for the fifth day's play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the MCC really want to guarantee the money for the fifth day, then I expect the declaration will be sometime about....5 o'clock tomorrow. And as an Aussie I really wish that were a joke Edited July 20, 2013 by Troy Maskell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plubby Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I think if you added all our dot balls from this test SERIES it wouldn't make enough to save this test. We're going to have to do an unprecedented amount of leaving and blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
