Wow, what a day! I opened the sports site and realized that Australia actually came within 2 runs of winning the match! That after they had only 2 wickets remaining and 107 runs to win the match.

But the thing is, if they came so close, I feel bad that they did not win it. England, I would say, escaped with a win. Right?

I still believe that England is more hype than substance. Though this team, I keep saying, is better than a lot of the past teams that have had similar hype.

1-1 and 3 tests to go. If McGrath does not come back, Australia will be under similar pressure next test to. And of course the top and middle order needs to stand up and be counted. Too much aggressiveness in the team is making them lose wickets when they really should not.
