Forget who is in and out of both sides. The equation is simple:

Australia have 90 overs remaining and 433 runs to get with 10 wickets in hand. They have to score at just over 4.8rpo, which is a little more than their usual rapid scoring rate. They have the batsmen to do it, but it's a last-day pitch that is turning and are up against a great, great bowler in Anil Kumble, with some good support for him also.

Personally, I'm a little surprised but very grateful that Ganguly decided to declare and give Australia some chance of winning, although it gives his bowlers more time to get the 10 wickets needed for a very historic victory.

Dammit, I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow. Ah well, I'll just have to get home asap and watch it on tv!
