India’s earlier performance at the SCG do show that the team has performed earlier on this ground with the highest being 705/7 declared in the match that took place on 2 Jan 2004. Though having made huge scores like 705 or 600, India hasn’t managed to win those matches and they have ended in a draw. The team has recorded only a single win at SCG so far and that to in the year 1978, where they scored 396 in the 2nd innings.
In the ongoing match India has ended the 2nd day with the score of 71 at the loss 1 wicket, but the team will have to bat the morning session on Day 3 carefully to fight back in this match end the test series on a fairly high note. India does have a good batting line-up but how they would perform in the next two days will determine the final result of this match.
