Facts, Stats & Records : Sri Lankans tripple Highscore Records

Author: bondySubject: Sri Lankans tripple Highscore RecordsPosted: 02 February 2008 at 10:22pmAmusing clobber, but worthwhile?  The pitches in the latest India v Australia series were perfect; in the four tests we had:  Adelaide- batsman's paradise, with a bit in it for the bowlers toward the end. Perth: Was better than past pitches, had a bit in it for the bowlers, but still was good enough for 500 + first innings scores.  SCG: provided movement for the quicks, but wasn't too dangerous for the batsman as well as the usual turn the pitch generates- especially toward the later stages.  MCG: a drop-in pitch, though it generally provides a result, one Australia usually take advantage of in the first test of a series before the opposition team have had time to settle.  There was a bit of pace and bounce as well as swing in every pitch, followed by a flattening out period, which favours almost every type of cricketer.Edited by bondy - Yesterday at 10:23pm
