Yup. Just the 250-odd runs behind with them having 7 wickets in hand and the world's most in-form batsman at the crease.

Riddle me this B, why did the Aussie not enforce the follow on?

Look to have the filthy Brit out by mid-afternoon tomorrow then just smack the ball all around the Gabba\Oval\wherever it is.

Captains do it to give their bowlers a rest rather than risk them potentially having to bowl solidly for 2-3 days (not that that would be likely in our case). Captains have become less keen to enforce follow-ons in recent years - it's become unfashionable.

Personally, I'm a great believer in (almost) always enforcing the follow-on for psychological reasons if nothing else.

I can understand this viewpoint but then 2-3 early wickets and you would expect your boys to metaphorically sh*t their white pants.
