Agree, They had a good day (well as good as they could expect from the encounter, other than the Sydney letting them go). Sydney should have been better prepared and sould have stood off at a longer range, but as one historian suggested, they possablily wanted to stay close just in case she was a "prize" and wanted to board her to stop her scuttling.
