This is ludicrous. You're quoting the Aussie score at the end of a game which they never had a chance of winning, only saving. Perhaps you don't understand how cricket works.
What score other than the score at the end of the game should I be quoting? Australia never had a chance of winning because in the first innings they batted in the worst conditions and England batted in the best conditions. Finally, the match was shortened due to rain, the result was a draw and England didn't win. None of which indicates that Australia's form (the starting point of this discussion) was all that bad.
