Why NO one commenting on Australia TEST ?

btw: no time for Younis Ton :

370 lead : this partnership can take it to 450 ( 80 runs)....and a 2nd time Declaration at Lunch Day 4 ?? 

What size lead do you think they'll declare on?

Time is of essence for the 4th Innings :

IF they go crazy and score 80 by Lunch ...then fine !

[i]BUT if Starc and Siddle suddenly figure out where the 3 sticks are [/i] 


Then an hour before TEA ??? : 450 - 500 declared !

I read an interesting note that no batsman has scored centuries in both innings of consecutive Test matches.

They have drawn three such games, totaling 15 instances in all of Pakistan setting a 400-plus target.

With a current lead of 370, this is all set to be the 16th such instance.

I suspect it isn't true because there was a record for the longest streak of centuries..over consecutive matches i guess..4 i reckon.

You are correct, bala. I just did some digging around and see that Everton Weekes holds the record with centuries in 5 consecutive innings. Weekes scored 1 century against England and 4 against India in 1948.

Weekes famously scored 5 centuries in a row, and then a 90 or so in the sixth innings.

It's double ton for him this time around. This guy seems to be in some supreme form nearing the end o his carer in test cricket. What a player!
