Ten sessions to victory
I think Aus needed a little more time in English conditions leading into the test. The IPL was not exactly ideal prep.
Still think Aus are the better side. SA's big guns seized the moment.
I reckon the Saffers were good things going into this Test. We seemed to think a win would just happen, but SA has the bowler to unsettle us in Pommy conditions.
Oh, and out batting line-up is tres suss.
Very glad to have been at Lords on the first day, couldn't believe as a neutral how much I've enjoyed this match.
