Aussies will win. Might see some good drift on the draw if Pak put together any decent partnerships but they'll be bowled out eventually.

Given Ponting's standard ridiculously early declarations I believe the draw is the least likely of the 3 results(unless weather plays a part). Either Ponting thinks he is playing Bangladesh or Zimbabwe or he fancies a day off tomorrow so he will probably get as many runs as he can before lunch and then declare. Australia will probably win because they have a far better side but what is the point in declaring for 454 halfway through day 2? Why not get 550-600 and declare an hour before close then have 3 days and an hour to take 20 wkts(with a likely follow on) and a negligable chance of losing.
