I am an American and don't know a whole lot about cricket. Can you explain to me what a draw is? I assume it's what we call a tie, when both teams have the same score at the end of a match. But if that is the definition, how did Hussey know that it would be a draw? How did he assume that each other's scores would be the same?
@@brownthunder999 A draw is different from a tie. To win the match, the team batting second has to score more runs than the team that batted first, and the team that batted first has to get all of the second teams batters out. If neither of those things has happened by the end of the fifth day, it's a draw.
@@brownthunder999basically, time runs out but team still has wickets in hand (batters remaining in the shed), so no result can be determined. In Australia we also tend to call finishing on the same scores a draw as well
People can hate Aussies for their arrogance but they can never hate the way they played. They don't go for unnecessary draws, they would rather go for win or lose.
So Australia started their second innings on the fifth day after tea and scored the runs in 27 overs. That has to be one of the absolute greatest team efforts in any team sporting history.
Australia were 10/1 to win. Once Warnie got flintoff I raced to the TAB put every dollar I had ($40) on Australia to win. One of the greatest games to watch of all time. Thanks guys!!!!
The kind of atmosphere created by the coach, Ricky and warnie was one of the reason they won that match. This kind of optimism is what everybody should learn from that team.
without warnie they don't win, simple as that. Bowling KP made it possible and probably the only type of delivery that was going to get him out on that pitch
I started watching and following cricket since round about 2000, after being born 4 years before. This was a very rare team born with an unmatchable and insane amount of passion to win. Yeah, they had an extremely competetive team, but the extent of their passion to win and excel surely hasn't been found later. Probably not before as well
at 1/59 start of day 5, England were never in a position to win. SO their mindset was survive. Aussies on the other hand were the only team that could possibly win, but it all needed to go their way. It was unlikely they'd get bowled out in the last session
One of the worst days in the history of English cricket. Australia bowled very well, but England came in with the wrong attitude to day 5, and massively missed the captaincy of Vaughan in that series. Flintoff resigned quite quickly afterwards as vice-captain.
I won't say that Warnie tells a _very_ different story to Hussey about Amazeballs Adelaide, but he doesn't mention the team talk. He basically said that the night before he was convinced Australia would win.
no longer develop the talent of the greats of the early to mid 00's. Ultimately any team is a product of individuals skill sets, and we have failed miserably to be able to reproduce anything like these players
@@Arshad0402 Yeah tell that to your son who will have absolutely no idea who Warne Langer Hayden are and which series they had played and when the retired and which series is hosted where.
