Yep they did, was a great game. Too little, too late from them though.Told ya. The ****s held on.
We should have declared a bit earlier yesterday, was no need to bat that long.

One of the things that annoys me about cricket, we made more runs and took more wickets but it is a draw mostly because of how bad at getting us out they wereYep they did, was a great game. Too little, too late from them though.

Not sure what you mean by this mate?but it is a draw mostly because of how bad at getting us out they were
They couldn’t get us out so we kept batting until eventually we decided to just stop so they could have a turn. If they’d actually managed to get us out earlier than we ended up declaring their last stint would have had more time to potentially get a result one way or the otherNot sure what you mean by this mate?
That's on us, we were in total control. Mark Waugh said in commentary yesterday we were batting too long and he was bang on. Especially with rain forecasted. An extra 30 minutes and chances are we win.They couldn’t get us out so we kept batting until eventually we decided to just stop so they could have a turn.

Yeah just as a concept the general idea behind cricket is one team tries to hit the ball as much as they can while keeping from getting out, other team tries to get them out. End result of this game arguable worse for us because we kept doing cricket and didn’t let the other team have a go (which they are supposed to earn for themselves by getting us out).That's on us, we were in total control.

I know there’s more to it than that
Yeah a lot more to it.
I love the complexities of Test match cricket, there's nothing else like it.
I'm not a fan of T20 either but I can see why kids like it. I probably would have of it was around when I was young.Last night was the perfect advertisement for test cricket over that 20/20 bullshit. Everyone felt the tension in the air, you even look at the kids in the ground riding every ball of those last 10 overs. There’s hope for the future yet.
I used to play Twilight Cricket when I was a young fella. I think it was 20 overs a side and you had to retire when you'd scored 30 runs but were allowed to bat again if the rest of the team was bowled out.I'm not a fan of T20 either but I can see why kids like it.

Nah will never be the same level. Anyone trying to do that are clueless.Thats all well and good but it shouldn’t be put on the pedistal anywhere near test cricket and people are trying to do that.
Yep they really had no choice.So much for being guaranteed the series. Common sense prevails
