"Coach Tim Nielsen told a news conference on Sunday the Australians are trying to win, not draw,...". Keeping aside this arrogance, if they had prayed God for rescue, may be they would been saved by rain !!!
Aussies had a number of rough decisions in thier second innings. They haven't complained insteade they have shown thier fighting spirit. They deserve to win.
Truly Australia deserves no. 1 position in Test ranking.After 215 all out any team surrender against total 515.But three time world champion shut the mouth of all critics who declared aus become finished after T-20 world cup.Common Australia u can win champion trophy and world cup - 2011.We want this type of spirit.

nothing is going to happen. after gilchrist, dam.martyn, Mc grath, shane wanes retirement pontings tactics are not at all working. He has become the weakest captain
What a come back by aus. Thanks to Clarke and haddin. I think Aus can create a history here, although itis very urgent to say anything. But these guys have played fantastic innings. I am eagerly waiting for final day play.
Instead of 20-20 test matches why not think of a restricted maximum 90 overs first innings and an unrestricted number of overs of second innings, test match? this will remove boredom and will have results. i think this is the real future for test matches.

those who support the test matches will not be in a position to appreciate a shorter version. people who are used to 20-20 or 50-50, will never appreciate anything longer than a day anyways.

I support your basic idea.. it can be 90 overs each inninigs and total 4 innings in which case result is obvious..with 5 days in hand.
