If we can draw this and end the series 1-1 I'll be fairly happy

This isn't a great England team, not a great Aussie team either but i'm surprised so many seemed to think we'd win this.

Its an average england side against a transitional, but talented, Aussie side.
Drawn series would be a good result to be honest.

They should also be a wicket down too!

        Nope. You don't get to the 5th test of a 5 test series, if you've not been in it. (Other Sports) - megson, Aug 21, 12:48:57
