You are right. If England don't win this match then they don't deserve to win the Ashes.
Their achilles heal in the last two matches has been the Australian tail. With Gillespie not playing it should in theory be a bit easier to run through it. If England do struggle with the tail again then I will be highly displeased.
If England get an early wicket tomorrow morning, they should be looking to have Australia following on before lunch. There is a bit more bad weather forecast before this match it out, England have got to make sure they get these Australian innings out of the way as quickly as possible - which we all know they are capable of.
If the Australia of old were in the position of England, they would probably win by 9 wickets at least.
