http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-india-2011/content/current/story/524835.ht ml A look at the stats for India's top batsmen in each Test of these series reveal that most of them have been at their best in the second Test. The difference has been especially stark for VVS LaxmanHe has historically struggled in the opening Test: his overall first-Test average is 36.69, with only one century and 16 half-centuries. In overseas Tests in the last decade, Laxman's story has been one of getting starts and not converting them into significant scores: out of 30 innings, he has gone past 20 on 21 occasions, yet he has managed only seven half-centuries, and no hundreds at all. In second Tests, he has turned it around completely, with three hundreds in 28 innings and an average of almost 60. His last seven second-Test innings read thus: 76, 124 not out, 29, 38, 96, 85 and 87. |
