Yes - not having a licence makes you a criminal.
And then we send you to Australia,with the rest of the convicts...:)

Yeh.
If them lot get a couple of early wickets, the momentum shifts, and, in very technical cricket terms, were fucked.
Our batsmen have looked poor, and our bowlers have looked decent for the first time since 2005, so why give them the chance to shift the momentum?

I think not enforcing the follow-on could well be bang on.
The wicket is only going to deteriorate,and I wouldn't fancy us chasing 200 plus batting last on a shady track.
We should knock 300 off without problems,and no-one has ever chased 500 successfully at Lords.
Only problem now could be the weather,or the light once the whinging Aussies bat to save the game.

great (sarcastic), we didnt enforce the follow on so i will now tell you whats gonna happen! we'll bat well, get to a lead of about 400 then strauss deciding its not enough, bat on and get a lead of about 550/600, aussies bat out the test either through good batting or rain and we waste a great chanc of winning the test, whereas as we could have enforced it and even if they do play well we wouldnt be chasing a lot more than 200 at the most! great captaincy :s

Correct decision not to enforce the follow on, it's a top batting pitch at the minute and theres very little swing coming from the bowlers so we should bat till around lunchtime tomorrow and hopefully get to about 600 and then the pressure will all be on the aussies
