KS Williamson 139: 16.19How do KW's hundred and Shah's 8fer rate from the recent UAE series?
Pains me to say it but Kohli's knocks there are probably overrated, absolute roads those pitches. Not surprising that one was a draw and the other was only a result because Aus declared twice.Best test match performances by an Indian batsman in Australia

Second one at Adelaide was a truly great knock. The rest were merely standard good test hundreds.Pains me to say it but Kohli's knocks there are probably overrated, absolute roads those pitches. Not surprising that one was a draw and the other was only a result because Aus declared twice.
I still feel that pitch conditions could potentially be taken into account a bit more with this analysisSecond one at Adelaide was a truly great knock. The rest were merely standard good test hundreds.
Will be interesting to know where Kohli's Perth hundred ranks.Best test match performances by an Indian batsman in Australia

And the 5th being the spinner with an average less than 30.It's probably gonna rate higher than Lara's.
SA had four bowlers this innings with averages under 25
True, but he did bowl in the innings. Possibly even bowled to Perera on day 3. Either way I'm not sure exactly how it worksI went onto CW today just for this thread. I am curious to see how Philander gets counted. Mister says 4 bowlers under 25, but Vernon was injured which helped SL heaps.
