If you suddenly told the players on the last afternoon that there was going to be a sixth day I think it's irrefutable England would've won. However, if it'd been known all through the whole game that a draw would only happen once 450 overs had been bowled, the game would've taken a completely different course as Australia would never have stayed on and been ripped apart by Hoggard and Flintoff on the fourth afternoon.
