  6. We can only speculate what might or might not have happened, and you can argue either way really. Bottom line is we won comfortably so all is well in the end. However, that notwithstanding the reasons they gave for not enforcing the follow on were utterly ridiculous given the match situation and the nigh-on 400 first innings lead. If it was actually to protect someone or there was a niggle or other injury we were not privy to, then it would be more understandable I suppose. Without the benefit of any of that inside knowledge, to me, on the face of it, you should always minimise risk, and the best way to do that would have been to get Pakistan back in to bat straight away - it was telling that Pakistan couldn't believe what they had just been told by Cook. Good win in the end though, let's give them another two doings in the final two tests now.

  10. When do we declare though? I just don't get the logic at all (there is none).
  11. Elbow - Jesus Was a Rochdale Girl (cheating?)
  12. Totally agree with your second paragraph Baz - spot on. Can't agree with your first one though, we've introduced an unnecessary risk into the proceedings buy giving the weather a chance to intervene. We don't actually know how long we've got to bowl at them.
  13. So far, I've heard Michael Vaughan, Michael Atherton, Sir Ian Botham, David Gower, Michael Holding, Shane Warne and - to a lesser extent - Nasser Hussain all say how bonkers it is to not enforce the follow on. That's good enough for me. I fear this might be a decision that backfires on Alastair Cook.
  14. Now why would England need to do that Chaddy? We are already 400 ahead before we even bat again! Not enforcing the follow on is an unbelievable decision and carries much more risk of not winning the game than enforcing it does. Absolutely spot on.
  15. Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick
  16. Paul Weller - C'mon Let's Go
  17. I know you're probably not being serious but don't wish your life away mate 😉
  18. Prefab Sprout - Goodbye Lucille (Johnny Johnny)
  19. Am I imagining this or has Cook matched The Don's century tally now? If so, that is phenomenal!
  20. America - Horse With No Name (For years I had thought this was Neil Young!!)
  21. An open goal for me: The Jam - All Around the World
