Top effort. Significant for the match and the Ashes. Puts Darsh into the firing line. Watson ok if he is bowling. If he decides he's not fit to bowl again then he's also in line.

Probably the best debut innings I've seen. Clarke's the only one that might be better that I can think of offhand.

edit: du Plessis another candidate.

Tougher pitch, no? IIRC that Bangalore pitch wasn't easy but this is close to three times the next best score.

Yeah. Hard to quantify but Clarke's was in a more important series and huge pressure etc which does mean something. But this is an innings which could be the best career hundred of an accomplished test batsman, which is a rare thing in a debut innings.

Scorecard probably doesn't reflect how tough conditions were but Sehwag's a great shout for best debut knock too. This one will take some beating, though.

Paying the price for poor bowling the the 2nd new ball here. If the lead gets to 150 then that's a massive blow for a team rolled for 148.
