After day 2 of the third test, Australia clearly have the upper hand. They are odds on favourites to win this test and take an unsurmountable 3-0 series lead.
I can guarantee this will happen. The reason I say this has not anything to do with Australia's cricketing abilities or what my prediction is of how the match will unfold. I say this because of the following quote by Kevin Pietersen:
"If our batters bat well, and we have some pretty good batters, we could still draw."
Pietersen has really been the only England player that has provided any kind of consistent resistance in the series so far. This is his mindset; he has already resigned to not winning the game. He has already given up hope of winning and now at best thinks they can achieve a draw. I imagine this is the mindset throughout the England team. They have already lost. They will not even draw the match with this kind of attitude.
The Ashes will belong to Australia once again on Sunday afternoon.
