up, to be fair I am normally an agressive declaration guy, but that's just me
Its an impossible call so I don't like judging too harshly.
I would ahve come in earlier, but there has been times in the past when had my screamed at the tele advice been followed, England may well have lost!
Meeja well be a mare tomorrow, this will be a poor result, England will have "failed to win" and Strauss will be too defensive.
There is no way he could ahve enforced that follow on.
Its a shame, because those in the know will understand why that game ended a Draw. Windies scrapped like buggery, the pitch died, and we were a bowler light.
