Quote: Andy Gilder "It would have put down more of a marker if we'd just kept batting for the rest of the afternoon until Ponting waved the white flag and agreed a draw.
All that was achieved by the declaration was giving Punter time on a flat pitch to rediscover some form."
With hindsight you are absolutely right.
I think we were hoping to knock over a few of their batters on a fifth day pitch that was starting to do something. This would have meant us going to Adelaide with a mental edge over both their batters and bowlers. I would have done the same.

The Ashes Tour finally stumbles to a conclusion tomorrow morning.
England's weary wounded will be home soon for 3 days then back off to the sub-continent for nearly 2 months for the 50 over world cup.
The ECB has to learn that there can be too much cricket but doubt they will.
The damp squib of the 7x50 over games plus 2xT20 games after the real cricket has been ridiculous.
