All credit to the Aussies. They went out to destroy England and that is what they did. Gilchrist gets the second quickest scoring century in test history, incredible rate. Hussey and Clarke also getting centuries. Over 400 runs for the team in just over 70 overs. Enough that they are able to declare with two days left. Then they get Strauss out immediately, on the 4th ball of the 1st over.
There is a marked difference between the two teams. Australia don't let their heads go down. They might have a rough spell but they not only pick themselves up but actually coming out even more determined. England however seem to just let it go, there seems to be no desire to win. You have to wonder what is happening in the dressing room and how much politics is getting in the way of good play.
Through gritted teeth I have to say, I have the utmost respect for this Aussie team.
