This isn't Waugh-era batting is it, or even Ponting. It's stodgy crap. Not saying it's not the best idea for Aus though - they clearly don't have the skills for fast scoring, and they know England are a spinner down, so knackering the seamers and making hay after lunch / tea is sound tactics. Or even just continuing like this - "get me out then" - as a draw also "wins" for the Aussies. Just boring as fuck
