On a flat pitch there's a chance, especially if Gillespie's form doesn't re-emerge.
But I'd not make any bets on it, because while Strauss, Vaughan (if he doesn't miss the entire rest of the series like last time when another seemingly innocuous injury went nasty), Bell and probably Pietersen have a small chance of performing together they'd possibly have to do it for a 400+ total.
And, I need hardly add, if England can make 400... as DB has already pointed-out.

Yes of course....

We saw how long it took for Aus batters to click. Just wait.

Yeah, but it'll probably be in reply to about 650 @ The Oval! :p
precisely, if england get that score its almost certain that australia will get more.

If they find a pitch circa the Oval 1938, they may just make it. :)
We'll probably find one - The Oval has produced many wickets akin to that one down the years.
It might well produce another this.

Of course they were going to get it. Aus only have two bowlers... Mcgrath was and injured the rest of the bowling attack looked very ordinary (even Warne at times). Just feel that if Tres hadnt nicked that ball from Kasper then Aus would really be staring down the barrel atm.
