Talk:Follow-on

I moved this from following-on, as "follow-on" is the noun form of the term, so sits better as the title of an article. -dmmaus 09:07, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

No, the usual rule will apply, and the third innings of the match will be batted by the team that batted first. And Introducing... A Leg 21:00, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Examples comprehensive?
Are these the only examples of a side following-on going on to victory? Or are there others unlisted? Kingnavland (talk) 06:14, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Innings defeat
Surprised to find that the related concept of Innings defeat is not the subject of an article. The follow-on entails the enticing (or humiliating) possibility of an innings defeat for the following-on side. One might compare it to an overbump in the Cambridge University May Bumps...

More stats please
What would be most useful (and what I looked after Michael Clarke's incredible decision yesterday) would be some statistics along the following lines for all Test matches:

Results when follow-on enforced/not enforced:

First innings lead: ?/?

Won: ?/?

Won by an innings: ?/not applicable

Drawn: ?/?

Lost: 3/?

Notes: any notable circumstance e.g. rain.

By not enforced I mean of course in those instances where it could have been. Obviously the circumstances of enforcing and not enforsing will be different (hence the request for the 1st innings lead) but it would give some idea of the gamble a captain is taking in not enforcing.
