I don't think so. There's two days left after this and the pitch isn't going to get any easier to bat on. If England get bowled out in the next 15-20 overs just over 200 behind I think Australia will bat tomorrow until tea or something and score as quickly as possible and then give themselves four sessions to win. Rain is the key variable though, only reason for enforcing would be if you don't expect to play much on day 5.
Not seen the forecast? I wouldn't expect much play tomorrow either.

It's not when he's only really got runs in the same amount of tests when wicketkeeping. I was certainly worried before his Perth ton by the correlation of starting to keep and not getting any runs.
He wasn't batting that badly really, has done very well since IMO.

Yeah it looks dire, can't really see anything else than a draw. If England can get themselves over the follow on Clarke is most likely going to have to make a very bold decleration to stand any chance.

Thing is, the lead would barely justify batting again if England didn't avoid the follow on, but the bowlers would be tired, interesting situation really

No, it's a massive cherry-pick. He has three centuries and three fifties in his last six tests, all of them as keeper.

Dharmasena never ought to umpire again. Put some nobody in his place and we'd do ****ing fine. #Dharmasenabaneofcricket
