All is not lost at Lord's, says Peter Siddle Peter Siddle, the bowler who never gives up, believes Australia can still force a draw in the Lord's Test and has refused to pin the blame for the tourists' desperate Ashes position only on the batsmen. Siddle expects England to keep batting on the fourth morning but Australia's frail batting line-up will still have to survive for at least five sessions to save the match, and avoid sinking to a 2-nil series deficit. Australia has to win the series to save the Ashes and will reflect on the disastrous batting collapse of day two as the time when the optimism drained from the campaign. However, Siddle said the whole team had to be accountable for the performance. It is disappointing, yes, we do expect as a whole to bat longer. It's not just the batters at the top it's the whole line up, we could all do a lot better and it's something we have to work on. We could have bowled better at times as well. It's a whole all round performance, we haven't been great for a lot of this Test match and that has put us in the position we're in," Siddle said. Wholehearted: Peter Siddle. You can go back to yesterday morning and we needed three wickets [to finish England's first innings] and we let them smash out 70 runs off 12 overs and that wasn't ideal at all. Little moments like that are costly. We go out there and we're chasing 300 instead of 360, it's a totally different circumstance. We have all got to be accountable. We've got to stand up for the rest of this match now, perform to the best of our ability and try and take something out of this match. There is still a lot at stake. If we play well, good patient cricket out in the middle, I think we can draw this match, maybe even win it, you never know, it's only four and a half an over, it's doable. With England's lead at 566 - almost 150 clear of the world record runchase - that seems like extremely wishful thinking. England punished Australia slowly on Saturday, with a clear strategy to keep the fast bowlers out in the field for as long as possible. Centurion Joe Root was even chided by his brother Billy, sharing the 12th man duties and running drinks onto the field, for batting too slowly. "He was probably nastier than Shane Watson, being his cheeky self," joked Root, who was sledged by the Australian allrounder. He [Billy] was just telling me how slowly I was batting and how he'd be smacking it to all parts. Siddle said the bowlers, who have sent down 210 overs in the match so far, were coping with the physical strain. We haven't bowled an extreme amount of overs today. Obviously it'll be a good work out for everyone I think. We're not too bad. Obviously it's not ideal to be out in the field every day but that's Test cricket. Whenever we get that bat we have to be patient, take out time and do the same to them. Make them spend some time out there and bowl some overs. We want to give them a little bit back of what they have been giving us. Total votes: 6979.
