We can usually go toe-to-toe with them for about 3 days or so. Done it a few times over the last 10-12 years. But they inevitably pull away from us in Days 4 and 5 (the test in Perth in 2001 is the major exception to this) and we end up being beaten quite badly, so in that respect this seems to be going according to that scenario.
