Longing for the day ...

Well done, the cricketers ...

What an incredible win! What an incredible game! Who would have picked any result, let alone THAT result with a day to play.

I guess this demonstrates the power of positivity. After the Poms were unable to bowl Australia out much short of their imposing first-innings total, they seemed to assume a draw was inevitable and started to play conservatively. On the other hand, Ricky Ponting was sure a result could be gained and pursued an Australian win ... vigorously. The positive approach was again triumphant ...

I think there's something in that for all of us, don't you?? (Or perhaps it was just the homeground advantage)
