Wow

Chasing the best part of 300 against England at the MCG? That's cool.

Great knock by Watson - he is definitely Australia's most in-form bat and can do it in all three formats. Finishing the match with an unbeaten ton and six off the last ball was just reward.

Haddin looked ok and Clarke and Michael Hussey chipped in.

The wicket was a road, of course, and England have gone off the boil in the field after catching EVERYTHING during the Ashes.

Here's smething random: shortly after Steve Waugh took over the ODI team in 1998 they chased 316 against Pakistan and knew they would go on to win the World Cup the following year.

I don't know that the 2011 vintage should be just as confident, but its not a bad thing that they can complete mammoth chases against quality opposition.
