    Good idea.

    What test series to people in the West Indies look forward to the most?.

    • 425 is a good score. There was a time when 400 was a mighty score!

      Need to bowl well. Onions > Harmison I dont agree with.

      • OMG! Guys we are making Australia gag. They are 156/8!

        Jimmy has 4 for very little.

        England should get a huge lead, 250 plus, and shut this game out.

        • Have we lost yet?

          • Excellent day, we made the aussies look very average. If Jimmy can skittle the tail within the first few over then we could make them follow on.

            It could be all over tomorrow!!!!

              Test matches are the masterpiece of cricket. Why would you want to mess with them?

                No.

                Assume a lead of 250, Eng must bat and bat and bat, get 500+ ahead, make sure they cant lose. There are 3 whole days left. Bat D3 and into day 4, giving us 120 odd overs to bowl the Aussies out.

                  Are you mad? If we can get the follow on then we'd be crazy not to.

                  • Enforce the follow on, then we will know what we need in the last innings and can go for it

                      Exactly, you've really got to do it. The only scenario is that the tail stay in until lunch and it turns out to be a beautiful day for batting, like in the mid 30's with no cloud.

                      I can't see either of these things happening so I think it's gonna be an aussie follow on, they'll probably get at least 300 this time though.
