Is that right that 310 is the highest number of runs chased down on that ground? considering the amount of cricket that's been played there that doesn't seem a lot to me?
Re: Australia v India, 1st ODI, Perth - dillinger10 - 01-12-2016
Yes, that was the highest successful run chase at the WACA. Only two other teams had scored 300+ in the second innings, New Zealand (335) in 2007 and Zimbabwe (301) in 2001 - both in losing efforts.
There have been 10 instances of teams scoring 300+ in their first innings here.
Re: Australia v India, 1st ODI, Perth - dillinger10 - 01-12-2016
Just to take this a bit further and show how hard it is for teams to chase down a score of 310, since the first ODI in 1971, there have been 3720 matches, of which, there have been just 34 instances of teams successfully chasing down a score more than 310. In those 3720 matches, teams batting first have scored more than 310 in 304 instances. Scoreboard pressure is a real thing.

Two of the bigger names in the Strikers vs Hurricanes matchup are missing as both Sammy and Jayawardene miss out through injury. A win for the Strikers would put them top of the table. I am hoping for another good performance out of Rashid, who is currently sitting second in the tournament with 12 wickets.
Re: Australia v India, 1st ODI, Perth - dillinger10 - 01-13-2016
Rashid adds two more wickets to his tally, finishing with figures of 2/16, and is now the leading wicket taker in the BBL this year. Hawkeye shows he should have had a third wicket with his final ball of the night, too.
Rash's dismissal of Wells was a beaut. An unplayable googly that spun a mile. His first over was a bit rough as he couldn't find his length but after that he was superb. The batsman just couldn't pick him. When he is on, he is really tough to play.
I was impressed by young West. He bowled in with a full head of steam and didn't lack for confidence, that's for sure.
