Huge wicket. We have a massive chance to win this now, but can't take the win for granted. Need to keep bowling the dangerous balls we have been sending down to Bell to the tailenders too.

But expected.  Good test teams don't throw results away.  They battle hard for the draw and make sure any win by the opposition is hard fought.  I think we are so used to our team rolling over and dying we forget that good teams battle for every last ball.  I just hope that the public/media remember that if we don't get the wickets.  I expect however, that the term 'pathetic' or some other synonym will be thrown about if we can't do it.


I still wish we had enforced the follow on, or at least declared a hell of a lot earlier than we did.

The English commentators missed that one.

Need to keep Prior from getting the single at the end of this over.  Need to be bowling at Monty.

Whatever happens here, can I just say I love test cricket.  There is very little that can produce drama like this.

Great effort in the field.  Great test match.  Should have declared a lot earlier, but other than that and the non follow on we have done just about everything right in the last 5 days.
