Well played Younis. Stood up where all others failed to. If only you got knocked out earlier. My prediction of Australia not having to bat again may have come true.

Not just Australia no one does, all still too scared after the Dravid Laxman partnership 16 years ago.
South Africa bowled 43 overs in dismissing Sri Lanka in the recent Test and still decided it was too much for their bowlers to go again, think they were nearly 300 in front too

Australia 0/31 after 5 overs, lead by 254. In an odd move Yasir Shah opened the bowling, only bowled 2 overs though Riaz replaces him

Lol who knows, Dirk Nannes was having a joke about it only the radio.

My thinking was maybe they're just trying something different to halt Warner's charge. Hasn't worked though. Warner 44 from 22 now.

I think teams are to weak and don't move in for the kill to enforce a follow on. Especially if your bowlers are getting wickets at a fast rate. When you have the team's jugular in your hands. You tighten the grip. You don't release the pressure and allow them to get back into the game. Take risks.

I wouldn't have batted again. Go for the throat, let the spinners bowl a shitload of overs, quicks in very short bursts and get em ready for India.

I'd say 380 would be a reasonable target don't ya think? Or would you say 400? Or just bat the whole day and end it a draw?

I reckon about 420, if Australia declare halfway through this evening's session. Pakistan incapable of scoring such a large total quickly. That'll allow us to.polish them off with the second new ball after tea tomorrow, if need be.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail

More so after Melbourne test of 2002-03

Enforced the follow on but England backed up the truck in the 2nd dig and McGrath and Warne got injured (side strain and shoulder) asa result of fatigue.

We won by six wickets, IIRC, on the last day however next test England won by 225 runs despite S Waugh's ton on the 2nd day.

Add that to the Kolkata experience when we couldn't back up at Delhi three days later and Follow-ons became as rare as rocking horse sh!t.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

I think a lot of it has to do with the change in batting styles as well

Teams can score so quickly now they can set up a lead of 400+ and still have plenty of time in the game.
