Day five of the 2nd Ashes test, the Aussies can win, England can win, without intervention from the weather a draw is unlikely, so four days or great entertainment and every likelihood of a fifth so maybe some of the obituaries for the five day game can be put on hold for a while? Sadly it's my view that Andrew Strauss has contributed in no small part to the excitement with not enforcing the follow on and mistiming the declaration. Yes, I'm a twitchy pom this morning but I would have batted for another hour, maybe even a session, yesterday morning; five sessions should have been plenty long enough, whether the Aussies for a win or batting out time for a draw, to clean them up. If the decision was made not to enforce the follow on because Flintoff was not able to bowl if we did, then he should not have been picked, the whole strategy of the game should not be compromised by the fitness of one player, known going into the game.
