Australia v West Indies
-
Is it just me, or is not enforcing the follow on just weird?
How long till stumps? And an overnight rest?
They're more behind than they scored in their first innings.
You're going to rest your bowlers for what? Two sessions? But they've got an overnight rest.
Just comes across as sooky.
I know, I know, VVS ...
And every time this happens, I ask this question n and Aussiewin anyway. Just seems to me to be the hard way.

I just thought the same. Why ?
Enforcing the follow on deflates the other team. I think it’s a powerful move.

306 or 7 wickets in a day ....
Either possible
The latter is more probable

Fuck especially now. I missed the first hour and looks like Lyon has come to the fore

Good fight from the Windies in the end but 164 run defeat
Not an absolute hammering. They might improve as the series goes on.
Last game is the next one - pink ball Test in Adelaide.

Oh right. Probably good from their perspective. I suppose Australia save the big series for the big guns and have two test series for minnows like the Windies, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and New Zealand.

It's a great day for a road trip, too. Nothing better than listening to ABC Radio as you're hurtling across the landscape.
