Are the Aussies really that bad? I mean 517-1......seriously?  ?? Hahaha. Shame we only got 1 wicket in reply as I reckon another 2 or 3 and they may have even collapsed and lost the game. |

Unfortunately, whilst we made 517-1 in this innings, there was an innings before it in which we were less than impressive ourselves! That said, if we can play properly in the 2nd test you've got to fancy our chances now! |

England 260 all out and 517-1 (declared) Australia 481 all out and 107-1 We needed to get Australia all out for less than 296 to win, but only got one man out, hence a draw |

But England's 2 scores add up to more?

But the game ran out of time, so it's a draw, and we more onto the next match. |

You need to bowl the other side out twice (ie take 20 wickets) to win a game of cricket. It's as fundamental as the rule that says to win a game of football you have to score more goals than the other side.

Except it's not, as you could win a test match without taking any wickets, or even take 19 less and still win.... |

Ah see, I figured scoring more runs was even more fundamentaler.

Nope. Otherwise there would potentially be very little incentive for the side who bats first to do anything other than defend for 5 days, especially on a good batting wicket. |

I guess if the other team decalred a score in the first innings without loss, your team registers a score (all out) and then the other team beats that without losing a wicket.
