Scoring 371 runs in the second innings of a test, which you are expected to lose, is about as good as you can expect a side to be. It looks likely that Australia will play even better in the subsequent tests, but I will be most surprised if England do. Mind you, I would not half have enjoyed it if that lbw decision had gone England's way in the penultimate over. It would have been nice to rob the Aussies!
