Bat for the day or hope for rain ?

In addition to upsetting my 15 year old nutter son by not going for 1,000 runs (not that his was routing for the Aussies! ) , Ricky Ponting appears to have well overplayed his hand at The 'Gabba. A fierce bit of batting by KP, England is now more than ready to drive this one towards a draw. Much work to do yet, but it doesn't seem as crazy an idea as it did just 24 hours ago.
