It is pretty hard to get used to - this idea of England winning a test match. It is to late for a batting collapse (usually the most reliable source of the opposition's success), so Australia can just bat out for a draw, in the knowledge that in all likelihood, the British summer will assist them by curtailing the final day's play. I enjoyed that quote:
"They spend all day together, sleep together, have long philosophical discussions, quarrel on occasion"
It sounds a bit like Mudcat on occasion.
