Oz one thing I did notice and he's not the only one Watson years ago regularly did it but Smith admittedly in the 90s is plum but to me the challenge was selfish might be wrong

I was referring to not enforcing the follow-on.

Oz over 450 ahead now.

Madge Bishop from Neighbours coming in at the fall of the 5th wicket to throw the bat for a declaration.



Ps. She's out now.

Bowled by Anderson after a quick-fire 35.

Left out through squad rotation. Probably in for the next test.

Can't wait for the inevitable collapse tomorrow and being forced to follow on having to get 300 to avoid an innings defeat. Pitiful display... again.
I’m not sure we enforce the follow on much anymore. Don’t understand why.
I reckon the tv companies and the rest want and need it to go as long as possible for the dosh involved.
