Can Finn do a 'Harmison' and wrap things up?....they will find it easier to score off him than Jimmy, i'm still a bit concerned.

Oh yeah, not once have I felt this game is in the bag. I said yesterday that no cricket game is over until the last run is scored - or indeed, the last wicket taken.

If you think that what Aus did in 2005, they did with Warne, Lee and Kas. Here, in Haddin, they have an actual batsman still at the crease. At Pattinson is better than Kas.

That said though, Swann is better than Giles.
 
Just because Pattinson is batting at number 11 does not mean that he has the (lack of) ability of a number 11. It's a seriously good Australian tail on paper. It would be even stronger had they selected Faulkner.
 
I'd be tempted to try and bowl defensively for the next 17 mins, restrict the runs, and get through the lunch. We'll get a rest, the Aussies will have to start again, and Jimmy may have shaken his cramp off.
 
Really is shades of 2005 now. Simon Jones dropped a difficult catch on the boundary back then, with 15 to win.
