Australia has an opportunity to show the world how desperately they want to win this one. To make allowances for lost time due to rain' date=' they should declare with a target of 300. Lets see if they got the balls to do that.[/quote'] Maybe even less. Keep in mind that Ponting has 15 consecutive test wins to date, and a win at the SCG will draw him level with Steve Waugh's record. Let's see if he'll instruct his batsmen to bat in fourth gear, and put it all on the line in search of a win. The lure of that record has to be huge. He has two World Cups, a 5-0 Ashes win and now sharing/taking the record for consecutive test wins would put him, statistically at least, among the greatest captains. Will be interesting to see if he targets that record. Might be too much of a lure. and if Australia go about it the wrong way, a crash and burn situation is very likely.
