McCullum will apologise for this in some sort of speech in 6-7 years time.

After the position we were in when I went to bed, which absolutely wasn't missionary, I was surprised to wake up and see we had such a commanding lead.
Looking forward to us winning this one by an innings and 2 runs.

The difference is Sachin never tried it. Root just isn't very good at it.
All in all think the Aussies will be the happier of the two sides considering the conditions they faced when batting. Forced the English attack into bowling 100+ overs and they won't have their first choice spinner in the last innings. This test would likely have been a formality at this point if we hadn't been so poor in the field on day 1.

What you think about rooty? Can he scores his 31st Hundred?

Well, I certainly didn't expect Murphy to have that in him. Great bit of tail wagging late, something we've lacked all series.
With the exception of Trent Bridge this series has been full of crackers. Having Australia with a narrow lead but batting last is basically the definition of a Test being perfectly set up.

Sachin prefered at 4 in test. You can not bat at desires batting position in india,
Sachin used to bats at 4 in his first 79 ODI till sidhu was injured in nz than captain Azheruddin told him to open the innings >> Sachin scored 49 ball 82 as oener he than open innings till the end of his career with 49 or so hundred & 18000 plus ODI runs

I think the thing with Australia is that they rarely seem to require to chase tricky totals much. Edgbaston was one of the rare times where Australia was batting last and had a gettable but difficult target to chase.
It also doesn't help that Australia have typically been poor at defending 4th innings totals since Headingley 2019.

Eng just behind on the 1st innings but in front of the game. Aus have to hope Eng bat under clouds and the pitch doesn't deteriorate and play 2 heights.
