Well we can?t take the chance so best you install yourself behind your computer for the duration of the series.

Last night I also thought they would enforce the follow on but now the Met office says that today?s going to be relatively dry with some sunshine with the clouds returning tomorrow. So maybe they?ll want to come out today, get some runs on the board and then hope that conditions tomorrow and Monday allow them to skittle the Aussies again. Although enforcing the follow on will probably be the best option.


Oh I don?t know. I?m going to wait and see what they do and how it turns out, then come back, edit my post accordingly and say, ?I told you so? again.

Strauss's fielding tactics this morning a complete mystery: Broad bowling short tosh and getting tonked, with no third man and a mid off. Inept. And no Flintoff.


However, given a lead of just 210, Strauss was absolutely right to enforce the follow-on. In these batsman friendly conditions, Australia could easily have been 60 for no wicket at lunch, and suddenly England would have begun to feel nervous. On top of that, with Broad looking extremely ordinary today, he needs time to regroup.

The forecast is that we could lose as little as one hour or as much as five hours of today to rain. That makes Strauss' decision incredibly tough. My inclination would be to go in for 20 minutes, about five overs, and thrash, in the hope of putting on a quick 40 runs. If Philip Hughes has a bit of luck, Australia could easily be at 250 by close of play, but England have to take a small risk to have a decent chance of victory. Tomorrow's forecast is fine all day.

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
