Bloody nora

Can we safely say it's a batting friendly wicket?

Imagine this was in a test, and at afternoon drinks on the first day, a team were 362-1. Better than plodding along at 2RPO...

Funny how the top 4 highest run chases have all been against Australia. Chokers?

 

[Questions]

If they had batted for the full 50 overs scoring at the 8.3 rate they would have got 418 and that is without the obvious increase the last half a dozen overs normally bring.
What is the highest one day total ?

443 by Sri Lanka according to Wiki - although they were playing the Netherlands. That highest run chase (SA v Aus) listed on the link above is the highest joint total though.

Two words: fielding restrictions.
