Had they held the catches, got us out for 100 less and managed to be say 40-1 at the close, it would have been a great day for them.
Re: 350-5 to 419 a/o. I do worry about our tail. We used to have Bres, Swann and Broad {who was averaging 29 when we got to world no.1 vs India at home} at 8, 9, 10.
In Aus, having an 8-10 who score 20-30 between them vs the 2011 team scoring around 75 is the difference between winning and losing, ceteris paribus.
