He needs to knock it soon. 6am last night, half 5 now, let's say, I am knackered.

Going off the quality of batting in this series, and the last..

What's to say the Aussies won't capitulate like this in their 2nd?

Well; assuming that the last wicket pairing don't make a century partnership, even if the Aussies collapse and post, say, 90 all out England are going to have to get around 275-300 to win in the fourth innings. Not impossible, but highly unlkely.

Revised it a few posts back to play for a draw.

I'd take the draw now to be honest. But, unless the weather takes a serious turn for the worse, I can't see the draw happening (too much time left).

Agree, bar a phenomenal bowling performance in the 2nd now.

Re: ********The Winter Ashes********

Cynical me but I remember calling the 2006/2007 series a whitewash and got it right.
The way England look and the way the Aussies are playing it might be worth a punt.
