BeautifulGame Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Scores: Australia 538/8d Pakistan 271/8 Currently Pakistan need 68 runs to avoid follow on.Cant see it happening with just 2 wickets remaining. So should Steve Smith enforce follow on tomorrow?Cant see any reasons not to. Has 5 bowlers and his bowlers will have a rest tonight.No need to preserve bowlers as this is the final test..Already time lost to rain and into 4th days play so enforcing follow on will give him best chance of result in the test. Steve Smith has been generally a defensive captain in his career .Will be interesting how much ruthless he is as a captain tomorrow. Edited January 5, 2017 by BeautifulGame
sandeep Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 No. Not unless rain is an issue. Wrap up the innings, rest the bowler for a session or so, smack around the Pack a bit more. Then the lambs will be properly prepped for the slaughter.
Laaloo Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 No. Wrap them up in 10 overs max. Bat 50 overs get 225-250. Give Pakistani 25 overs today and 90 tomorrow.
Vilander Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Must enforce followon it reduces chance of Draw. Pak should be made to bat again. they wont cross 200.
Iconoclast Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 No, pitch will be tough day 5 and they have 2 spinners operating.
