Just yes, great knock.
Yeah same, JB was actually a smooth operator with the bat, especially on the drive although he had a big gap between bat and pad (without checking, think he got bowled a lot). Loved slapping the Vics around, probably the majority of his Shield runs came against them.
EDIT: Quick check on Cricket Archive; JB averaged around 43 with 10 Shield tons overall, 6 of them (and a couple of 90's) came against Vic against whom he averaged 65, almost 70 for SA alone! Decent effort considering the calibre of bowlers Vic had during his time (from the scorecards); Warne/Fleming/Dodemaide/Saker/Merv/Cook/Williams/Corbett/McIntyre/Reiffel/SO'D/. All bar Corbett and Saker played Tests.
