189.3 overs.
That is how many overs the English “attack†has bowled.
They still have 9 wickets to go.
They bowled 93 overs for the first 10 wickets.
The next wicket has come after a further 96.3.
We call this the VVS syndrome.
Mr Laxman buried the follow on many years ago.
But M Vaughan refuses to believe they are dead.
On this evidence, they are.
In this day and age of flat pitches, constant cricket and botox, following on is just no longer the obvious choice.
Smith and Vaughan both decided this was a pitch to bowl first on, but Smith made the ultimate mistake.
Now Vaughan has enforced the follow on, which means his bowlers may bowl for 3 days straight, draw the match and have to front up to a test on thursday.
For those unaware, today is monday.
Now with new proper english lady blogger.
