Realistically, I'd have taken a first innings deficit of 12 after being put into bat. That’s pretty good going from where we were this morning. Just a bit annoying their tail wagged (with some assistance from our bowlers).
Would be nice if we can set a stiff target and keep the 'moral victory' intact, but I suspect they'll make it more exciting than that.
As a side note, Australia's batting was pisspoor for most of the day. The kind of negative shite we used to excel at. A dismal showing.
