Did the England team read my blog yesterday? Today they have shown more of a fighting spirit and finally come back at the Aussies. Indeed, if it wasn't for the two wickets falling in quick succession in the final overs, they were almost poised to take the game. As it is, a victory will still be difficult. Even batting through the rest of the final day will be difficult. However they should aim to win. Once batsmen have the mindset that they just need to survive then they change their natural playing style and that is when the next wicket falls.
Alistair Cook reached a century, seen celebrating to the right. He was ably supported by Bell and Pietersen but, as normal for this team, a few have just failed to live up to the demands. All of our batsmen do have ability, but there are always two of them in each innings who don't score and this is the underdoing of the team. If they could only just all be on form then this team would beat anyone out there. But, with a target of 557, 265 is still adrift of where they need to be.
