#2 George Bailey’s majestic run
Australia’s batting was all about one person throughout the series. The then skipper of the side George Bailey made a mockery of the Indian bowlers and hardly ever failed. He tormented the opposition and single-handedly kept his side in the series. The right-hander accounted for a total of 478 runs in 6 innings at an average of 95.6 and a strike rate of 116.02.
His scores in the series read 85, 92*, 43, 98, 156 and 4. He ended up being the second highest run-getter in the series and the top run-scorer for Australia. Very easily, he could have had 3 centuries to his credit but he ended up with just one. That series was perhaps the highest point of Bailey’s career so far.
