 | At 126 for 5, after Steve Waugh had given Saqlain Mushtaq a tame return catch, as Gilchrist walked out to join his West Australian team-mate, it seemed curtains for the Kangaroos. With half the side gone, they had 243 runs to make against an attack that consisted of arguably the greatest left-arm pace bowler ever, the finest offspinner since E A S Prasanna, the fastest bowler on the planet and the most adroit mover of the ball in the game. How in John Howard's name were they going to do it? "Hang in there, Gili," Langer told the wicketkeeper. "You never know what will happen." Truer words were never spoken.
