Looking ahead to Thursday, Australia will take plenty of heart from this match. They'll know that when the pressure is REALLY on, England didn't bowl all that well. They'll take heart from the gutsy performance of Lee to bowl well yesterday and play a sensational knock today. If England had knocked over the last two wickets immediately, morale and momentum would be with England but I think after this, considering they almost lost a match that should not have even been close, honours in the series couldn't be more even.

I don't see how an Australian fan can be devastated by this result. England had the game to lose. They'd be the ones in tears with good reason had Jones missed that ball.

It was a poor decision in hindsight, but surely it was the most sensible at the time. No one expected the pitch to be quite so flat before the match.burkey_1988 said:

England should take great heart from victory.Top_Cat said:
For a while there, they didnt look like they knew how to win.
From both teams perspective, the closeness of the finish could paper over some of the problems they've got.
Australia has both batsmen and bowlers not performing and limited backup until McGrath is fit or unless they go outside the squad.
Vaughan is a very good captain but has scored 32 @ 8.
Bell, Jones and Hoggard dont look up to it for mine.
