What a load of shit.

Cook needs sacking for this. Awful.

KP gone

From having them on the rack, to this.

Arrogance abd pure selfishness on cooks part.

I disagree. Tea on day 2, 230 odd ahead, I wouldn't go for the follow on. I'd bat them out, get another 350 runs, then they know they have to chase 600 to win and England have 2 days to bowl them out, I think that's more demolising here, however that plan didn't work at the start, but we can still get to a 500 lead.

Also, by not enforcing the follow on, and hopefully batting till end of play tomorrow really makes the Aussies work hard, especially their fast bowlers. In this heat having to run in for best part of 3 days, really tire them out for rest of series. Gives our bowlers a rest too

Or.

After being stuffed off the park, and having to lick their wounds you stick em straight back where they feel under pressure.

You tell me what is the best call.

Given how most on sky, and channel five said bat instead of enforce it, I'll go with that.

We'll still win this btw. But it certainly won't be through any good captaincy. I tend to side wit Cripps. Very poor so far.
