At the change of innings, my wife asked if England could bat out a draw. I said that it was theoretically possible, but England had not shown that they could bat for two days, so it was unlikely.

I said England would lose about four wickets just clearing the first innings deficit.

I might have been optimistic saying four … it could be more as they are 4 for -55 at the moment.

I am glad to see that the current Australian Cricket team have not forgotten the mantra of Steve Waugh’s captaincy: inflict mental disintegration whenever possible.
