India vs Australia - Second Day Of Test
Today, surprising performance by Murali Vijay
(129*) and Cheteshwar Pujara (162*), printed their names into the book of records
with an unbroken partnership of 294 for the second wicket and which drove India
to a lead of 74.India ended 2nd day of test on 311 for 1.
2. After
the tea break the final scored jumped out to be 106 in the second session of
the day which was an average performance but they succeeded to save the
wickets. And this proves to be good enough to demoralize Aussies bowlers.
3. In
the final two hours of the day they crushed the lazy Australian bowling attack.
They best
part of today’s game was that India didn’t lose any wicket after the first 10
minutes of the beginning. As today’s game proceeded towards end the pace of
batsmen to score the run gradually increased, The wall of each of their 50-run
stands was enough to show how well the pair paced their innings: The first 50
runs took 157 balls (very slow), the second 50 came in 97 balls (average), the
third 50 came in 80 balls (good) but the fourth fifty in just 65 followed by
the last and fifth 50 in just 50 balls.
