Normally team A would bat first then B, then A again then B. If you follow on it goes A, B, then B again and then A if needed. So if team A scores a shed load of runs and team B is then all out and still more 200 or more behind team A can enforce the follow on. Which means team B bats again...

Can't see anyway out of this one. Weather forecast looks good and even if Englands bowlers can get the Aussies out for around 200 again there's little chance of England chasing 300 plus.

Just as well we can't follow on. If we could you wouldn't bet against being all out again before the close.

Its a nice soundbite but how would it work in practice. How do you stop people who the law of the land says are allowed to from buying and selling businesses? And even if you could do that how are they going to know what is coming 1, 2 or 5 years down the line. Most of the time when we hear...

Be lucky to make 100 at this rate. Also needs to be well managed. England don't have a good record in recent years of keeping emerging bowlers injury free.

And there it is!

Reckon Pompey are still are dial up.

Thought Italia was back for a minute, that was one of his favourite assertions. Although he never could explain why having their own ground is unaffordable for CCFC yet doesn't seem to present an issue for so many other clubs.

Seemed a weird loan at the time but if he's not playing at all can we get him back? Would be better having him play in our U23s or even send him out to somewhere like Nuneaton where he'll get game time. Pointless him being up there and never playing.

Nah, he gets a 10 purely for entertainment value!

Incredible effort. They look absolutely shattered by the end. Hopefully they can recover in time for Saturday.

This is absolutely mental.

Not sure about the offside watching it back. Could be someone offscreen but then they wouldn't be involved in play.

Do our players realise this is an important league match and not a piss about in the park?

Comeback is on!

That was a ridiculous challenge from their defender. No need at all.

I'm more nervous when Marosi has to make a save than I was with Burge!

Very sloppy performance tonight. Giving away stupid goals and needless bookings. Hopefully just one of those nights where everything that can go wrong does go wrong and not a sign that the wheels are coming off already. We normally wait until Christmas for that!

Bit of a mad first half, well what we saw of it anyway. Definitely winnable but equally wouldn't be particularly surprised if they stuck another 2 or 3 past us. Need to press them the way they are pressing us.
