1st test Kangaroos vs the Poms(Gabba)

Re: 1st test Kangaroos vs the Poms(Gabba) Good fightback from England. If Collingwood had not had a brainfart @96 Australia might actually have had some things to think about. Pietersen taking on Warne was absolutely superb cricket. The series isn't over.

Re: 1st test Kangaroos vs the Poms(Gabba) Over to Adelaide. The improved batting performance in the second innings bodes well for the rest of the series but their bowling has a serious question mark with Aus scoring 800+ for the loss of 10 wickets. Good call Salil, my assessment of the England bowling attack it seems was way off, though Panesar's omission had a part to play in it.

Re: 1st test Kangaroos vs the Poms(Gabba) So, what's up with not enforcing follow on even with a 400 run lead? Ghost of kolkatta still haunting these guys?

Re: 1st test Kangaroos vs the Poms(Gabba) I was reading on some blog today that CA has done research and found out injuries are proportional to follow ons and that has resulted in an almost no-no on follow ons unless absolutely required.
