WACA's batting-friendly stats
There's a lot of talk about how the Perth wicket is no longer as quick as it used to be.
Here's the evidence:
- South Africa easily saved last year's test, faced with a target of 491, surviving 126 overs and losing only 3 wickets.
- In the last season (2005-06), there were ten instances (from 5 Pura Cup games) of teams making more than 300 in their innings. Three of those 10 were in the first innings. Out of those 5 games, only 1 didn't have two teams making 300. The runs per wicket was 35 and the runs were made at 3.25 per over.
- This season (2006-07), so far, 6 out of 10 innings (from 3 Pura Cup games) have teams making more than 300. The runs per wicket is a staggering 49 and the runs have been made at 3.7 per over!
