52 overs too many?

by Gaurav Sethi

BPXI declares at 292/4, setting the Aussies a surreal 434 (52 overs). Play yourself into form, Punter. We want you to score some test runs in India.

Anything above would give a good reason for the Punter to go for the toss (with Kumble) with his collar up...; October 5, 2008 at 2:44 PM

So lets break this down then - in both innings , the BP XI beat the crap out of the Aussie bowlers; the Aussie batsmen just about barely got past the follow on mark in the first essay; both the Aussie openers are showing signs of rust.

BP XI scores in excess of 4 rpo in both innings. Look at Australia's rpo.

The punt was to make further inroads into the Aussie psyche - a result was never on. And the quality of the fast bowling resources India has for the Tests will be a step up from Pathan and Gony.

All boxes have been ticked as far as India's expectations for the game where.

Ponting getting a 50 is neither here nor there- he got a 41 in the first essay and that tells us what?
