Because they have to give themselves enough time to bowl the aussies out to win the game, they don't want a draw. |
Re: Cricket
If the Aussies were not given a reasonably target, it would have been a draw because they would have had batsmen that had not played.

Re: Cricket
I believe the word Cricket is derived from the Latin, Cricketius meaning to yawn.

Re: Cricket
7 down - come on England :tu:

Re: Cricket
265 for 7 - just need to get Ponting out !!!!
|
Re: Cricket
Forget Ponting - just need Warne, Lee & McGrath ;)

Re: Cricket
true - but ponting would just demoralise the remainder completely ....

Re: Cricket
Bowlers are tired so it a draw or a win for Australia.

This means that, to win, England would have to dismiss all the Australian batsmen and, for the Australians to win, they would have to achieve the total England have set for them. If neither of these happen then the game is a draw as happened today. The "follow on" can be enforced when the team that bats second has not managed to get a score at least 200 runs below the team that went first (in a five day game), in which case they can be made to bat again. As to today's game...!!! Damn, that was seriously stressful, but it, regrettably proves that whilst England are a lot better than they have been in recent years, they're *still* not quite good enough. Australia once again demonstrated that they have the ability to bat practically right down the order wheras England have demonstrated that they can't quite keep it together when it gets to the crunch, with dropped catches and wayward bowling :( __________________ Quote:

Re: Cricket
England have one the toss and are going to bat, with McGrath out and newboy Tait in the side :) Let's hope Tres & Strauss can profit from facing Tait and Kasprowiz.

Re: Cricket
Good start, Strauss a little unlucky but over 100 for 1st wicket is nice.:D
