***Official*** India in Australia 2011/12

DWTA but I can't think of many situations where I wouldn't enforce the follow on so this is probably a bit of a redundant post.

Yeah, but you aren't the one who has to bowl 20 overs on this deck in this weather

 

[Prince EWS]

iirc you actually try to enforce the follow on even when you can't

Indeed. I even made a post suggesting the follow on mark to should be reduced from 200 to 1 not long ago to back that up.

 

[ankitj]

Have Australia enforced follow on?

I am not watching the match even on a holiday, it's that pathetic!

I bowl off breaks; I'd be fine.

PEWS is Nathan Lyon and I collect my $16

Harris has been unlucky, but not in the Ishant 'I'm unlucky that I'm just not that good' Sharma way. Will bowl worse and take 5-fers.

Exactly. It's good length deliveries that are beating the batsman. His style has taken wickets in the past and it's a joke to question his position after two Tests in which he is outbowled.

ed cowan should have a blog or something, i don't want to wait for another book haha

Follow on should have been enforced:

- They're 300+ ahead
- Not enforcing the follow on opens up the chance of a draw (no draw possible if the follow on is enforced)
- The leather flingers get to recharge their batteries tonight anyway

(no draw possible if the follow on is enforced)

well it kinda is

 

[Spikey]

if they can draw the match batting for about 150 overs they can draw the match batting in the follow on. Indeed they could win.

lol

wish they'd given a long rope for Mukund as well in England jus like Virat now...he was decent in the first 2 tests, scored an unbeaten 100 in the tour game that followed but was dropped for the next 2 tests to accomodate recovering sehwag!

Nah, Mukund's technique needs work.

Rahane, Pujara and Rohit all ahead of him in the pack.

What's with Warner? Has not had any idea how to play Ashwin at all.

EDIT: Long hops excepted.

 

[mono]

smart move by the aussies. The wicket's probably at its best now so might as well use it a to score a quickfire 250ish and take the game away from india

 

[howardj]

and open up the possibility of the draw

Incredibly remote, far far far counterbalanced by the fact you could have the bowlers doing two and a half straight days on the field.
