And the pundits agree. Following Hussey's wicket, they think it's almost even again. Interestingly, it's the chances of a draw are declining rapidly.
England win (40%)
Australia win (45%)
Draw (15%)
Extraordinary turnaround. (Hope it's the last turnaround of the game.) England win (70%) Australia win (20%) Draw (10%) |

I think the ones who still say Aussie win or draw are probably all Aussie 'experts'. 131-8.... |

Missing the follow on is quite frustrating, actually. Still...can't have everything.

Don't write them off though. If there's any side capable of having a pig of a second innings and getting all out for 65, it's us.

I wouldn't have enforced the follow on anyway.

Why? They're on the ropes and batting like a class of 9 year old girls.

Vaid point, but they've got no spinner in their side. Could be a very big mistake. |

I hate it when we bat last. It's normally then we collapse. |

I would have. Whilst it would have been risky it would have been worth it for the chance of rubbing their noses in it with an innings defeat - that would really piss Ponting off, which is the main reason for playing isn't it? |

A bit like Strauss being caught off a no ball.
