What's a good score on this pitch? 350?

 

[straw man]

First look at the pitch - looks feisty. straya took the right approach attacking at the start, Clarke to bowl Australia to victory and a back injury all in one.

Last five tests here the average first innings score is 280 odd

Dees kicked a goal after the siren, roos won by two points #shaky

Jeez, they were cruising.

Nah more like 300...that would be a very handy score because this pitch will be ridiculous batting last - it's already hugely variable in bounce on first day.

350 would be a sensational score.

Suck ****, BCCI.

Haha agree. Commentary team at pains not to mention DRS, elephant in the room.

Manjrekar still thinking because he has a microphone he has to constantly make noise and over complicate the game. Bloke is a peanut.

Lovely Michael.

clarkeh, what a guy

 

[benchmark00]

He wasn't at the pitch there, lovely hands, did so well to keep his shape.

Not sure I can think of a batsman with this kind of peak and with most the runs coming in at dire/tough times.

 

[Spikey]

don't bowl there to m0z!

Bradman batted during the depression, doesn't get tougher and more dire than that. Boom.

 

[uvelocity]

just noting down with 3 victorians in the lineup no total here will assure victory

As for the other post, I guess Chanderpaul comes close as he has had a couple of ridiculous runs of form in a poor side.

Bradman's a myth ****.

Henriques has the makings of a really good batsman

Time will tell whether he has the mental strength to make the most of his undoubted talent

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I think on what we have seen so far Henriques should bat above Wade at 6.

 

[Mr_Ronan]

Wow the Aussies have come out all guns blazing since tea...25 from 3 overs.

India will want to get a breakthrough in the next 6 or 7 overs or it could really get away from them.

Things are tougher now.

Thanks Juliar.

His fc record until this year has been very modest
