Teams score 600 and 750 in first innings and hope there will be result in second 

[WicketView]

exactly what i said !

i think he is the MOST underrated batsman in the WORLD !

he is blossoming only in this series. Let us not go overboard for all the talent he still averages like 41 or so in test cricket.

emmm, no.

he averages 70 since his comeback from injury (around this time last year)

That does not negate what I said earlier. In his last series against NZ he had an average of 20. For my liking he is far too inconsistent but as you said he has improved once he is back from injury

You are complaining about inconsistency because the average is 20 in a 2 match series in pretty difficult conditions? Have you thought about calling Don Bradman a low scorer because his average in his last innings was 0?
