AVG of 24 with bat vs Australia 


Yeah, two good knocks in 5 outings on tough pitches. If he does not get a good (or unplayable) ball early on, he tends to make it “count” … 31* closed the low scoring game for India, & the 59, a classy knock that accounts for more than 1/3rd of Ind’s total, has taken the 3rd test to Day 3, giving bowlers something to defend in these bowling friendly conditions (or it could have been won by Aus y’day)! 

Cool impact by the Count!

Amazing contribution indeed by the Count as he takes his team to Day 3, saved an embarrassment of 2 day loss. Massive achievement!

Axar patel scored more than this fraud in this series so far. Filter man decided to 'count' second innings century in bangla to make his numbers look respectable

I am reading some low quality posts from certain lame posters. Let me put this as nicely as possible - these threads are NOT for you. Keep your desi logic to yourself. I hardly interact with trolls (some of them work for government, if I am not wrong, living on taxpayers money and spending time on such forums during work hours to write on cricket). 

 

This thread is for folks who want to appreciate good performances in difficult conditions.  Yes, if you have some valid points to make on cricket, go ahead but don't go around making worthless comments. 

 

 

Coming back to the topic, which is considering the appreciative cricket fans, this thread is following batting performances in difficult conditions (if bowling conditions were difficult, probably I would have had one for the bowlers) for the Dec to Mar season (6 test matches post T20WC and pre IPL).  I am glad that Count Pujara is rocking this season!! :rock:
