barring ranchi and maybe banglore, although that turned less and had more uneven bounce.
the other two were rather flat and decent wickets.
the bangladesh one looks like the england vs bangladesh wickets where 3-4 wickets could fall quickly and from memory 250 was about par.
the players yesterday said 250 was enough, well that was what bangladesh said and they were probably proven right with 3 quick wickets and khawaja plus warner shitting themselves.
would be pretty tough for Smith and probably renshaw to score close to 300 runs.
Australia still need to get a lead of 80 + to be in a good position.
150+ is guaranteed win.
so basically Australia need to still score 360 plus very hard to see how Smith could get most of those singlehandly.
not sure I be confident on handscob scoring runs, renshaw yes.
Maxwell and wade are question marks and the bowlers not getting much here on this deck.
it will have to be seen if Smith could handle the pressure of scoring most of the runs on this tour.
probably more tougher task than the india series when half the game were on survivable pitches, here they most likely playing on decks where bangladesh can bowl spin all day and threaten the batsman wicket every few balls.
bangladesh would probably create 10-20 wicket taking chances a session, so in my eyes batting would be very difficult.
