Electing to bat after winning the toss here, skipper Steven Smith (111) and opener David Warner (56) set the tone for a massive Australian total, before chinaman Kuldeep Yadav triggered a batting collapse to bring India back into the game, with figures of 4\/68.<\/p>\n
Wade, who scored a 57, said that even reaching 300 was a good efffort considering the dire situation they were in.<\/p>\n
“At 140\/1 at lunch, You would hope to push on. But it was credit to the Indians, they bowled really well through the middle session and we had to find a way to grind out 300. I thought to get there in the end was a good effort,” he told reporters.<\/p>\n
Wade is hopeful that the cracks on the pitch at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium will help them the way it helped the Indians.<\/p>\n
“The cracks are playing a huge role, with the spinners as well as the quicks,” he reckoned. “So we will be looking to get a bit out of the cracks in the wicket tomorrow. “Hopefully we can create 10 opportunities.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
