Unbelievably, there's dodgy weather on the way. Get to about 450 without mishap, and then they're going to need to look to push on.
Then again, with Doherty bowling, who needs to push on?

Swapping Johnson was sensible. Swapping Hilfenhaus was foolish.

Worried about the tail, apparently, which meant that if Johnson had to go, so did Hilfenhaus.
Keeping Doherty was the mistake, I think. They clearly don't have any quality spinners, so just go for four seamers and a bit of part-time twirling from North. I suspect that is what they will do in Perth, assuming North isn't dropped.
the good news is, we are until January

Odd watching the two of them now. Collingwood is (quite legitimately) leaving a whole load of balls that Pietersen would be trying to smack for four.

not sure what the plan is now. obviously try and get as high a lead as possible, but with bad weather predicted, we'll be needing to leave some time to win the match. coming out of these two tests still at 0-0 would be a bit of a blow i should think.
we need to crack on (like kev is) and declare with about 550 up, then jimmy and swanny can knock 'em over quick-style

Not if it's because of the weather. They're pushing on well this morning, and there's no way Pietersen's hanging around. I'd still like a lead of 300 if possible, then all-out attack with the ball – a ring of slips, and don't worry about giving away a few boundaries.
spot on, lbj

so maybe declare at 300 ahead and give us a few overs at them this evening i'm guessing?

I fear Strauss doesn't quite think like that, but I'd like four slips and a gully or three slips and two gullies. That kind of attack seems to have gone out of fashion in recent years. It was common in the 80s.
