For that to happen England would have had to get well over 500 - and the Aussies would have easily chased a 100 or so with 10 wickets - now though it's not beyond possibility to bat the game out although very difficult to do so .Maybe they are still remembering the time they enforced the follow on and lost under ponting , I certainly expect a quick declaration this morning - if we could bat to tea with one or two down then there is hope - although more likely to be all out well before tea for less than 200 Shall we just accept that the captain of Australia knows a bit more about cricket than you do?

I was amazed Clarke didnt enforce the follow on - it gives us a slight glimmer of hope although it would take a mammoth change in form to get a draw.
Maybe we can post a total over 200 today? If not, we go again.
