Goalie was expected to score a hundred in this Bangalore Test for sure. The reason is that history has shown that the Bangalore ground will be in favor of the batsmen in the first innings.
Pitch Report:
Since there will always be a few puddles on the bowling pitch at this ground, only the first three days of the crackers can make an impact. The usual pitch report is that there will be no spin.
The goalie has been stumbling more and more against the spin lately. Critics had predicted that the goalie’s chances of scoring a century would be bright, as the pace was expected to pick up only partially for the first three days of the match.
Thus, expect a big score in the first two innings. In particular, it was thought that winning the toss and choosing to bat first could lead to a bigger score. However, from the first over of the first day, the BCCI has prepared a pitch that is conducive to pitch rotation.
Average score:
The average first innings score on this pitch was 362 runs. He averaged 314 in the second inning. He has scored 204 and 183 runs in the last two innings.
Fans dissatisfied:
With such a favorable pitch for batting, why should the BCCI turn it into a full-fledged bowling pitch? Fans have been posting on the internet and expressing their dissatisfaction that doing so will only increase the pressure on the goalie who is not a centurion.
