Enforce follow-on, if we can

The Ashes England
by straffan (U3201273) 18 July 2009
comment on the article

England must enforce the follow-on, if they can. None of this silly new age thinking about not batting fourth, in case the pitch deteriorates. Lords gets flatter and easier after the third day. We have the Aussies by the throat, and we should keep them there, before delivering the coup-de-grace.

Typical Andrew Strauss for claiming that catch!!! Billy Doctrove is having a poor day, first the no-ball of Flintoff that he didn't see, and then giving that catch out without going upstairts to refer it!! But yesterday after Hauritz claimed the catch they gave Bopara not out!! No team didn't need mistakes from an umpire today! This sort of mistakes should get sotred out!!!!

If Tuffers will not face Rolf Harris, he is chicken, he is a wimp, a big girl's blouse and will lose the respect of the cricketing public, besides we want to hear him grovel

Ricky Ponting should bat a match winning and captain innings to win a test match here at Lords. He has the ability of playing long innings in the recent past. We need another from him.

Three KHOTA(horribly wrong) outs against Australia. The Umpires must have been properly instructed. A reversal of the Sydney Test against India for Australia.

Wonder what is the betting status in Mohmmed's betting shop in Dubai.
