You mean in an average game? 400+ is good.

In this game, I wouldn't be surprised if 200 was enough...

200 absolute, or lead?

Lead I should think. Though if the Aussies get a 200 lead, they won't stop there. They'll bat for a full two days if they can and get as many as possible. You won't see a declaration in this match.

So if Aussie start with a 50 run lead, its pretty much bye bye, ya reckon?

I wold be surprised if England won this game. But you never know, if Australia collapse in the second innings, the runs are so low that it could be close.

We're only 37 runs behind now. I love the Harmison/Jones partnership 🙂 They put on 79 against South Africa in the summer, Harmison being top scorer in the innings with 52. There's every chance we could see a draw at the first innings end, then we've got a game going!
