you can't generalise that. not everyone's favorites are knocks from his own country men

abd 33 of 220 balls in adelaide 2012, 43 of 228 balls in cape town 2014 and jos buttler 26 of 207 balls in adelaide 2021. They are few great grinding knocks i guess but the 2014 and 2021 knocks did not save their team from losing the match

The Pujara inning (in Sydney?) seems quite unique to me in that it was
a) a winning innings
b) was contra to the opinions of all the expert commentary i was listening to (in game commentators and overnight podcasts)

It also seemed to have a big impact on the next match, arguably. And therefore a truely series defining innings.

International Vice-Captain
Chris Tavare at Old Trafford in 1981: 69 off 193 balls held together England's first innings of 231, then 78 off 289 balls in the second innings wore down Lillee and Alderman, enabling Botham to score 118 off 102.

Then in India a few months later he scored 26 in an opening stand of 155 with Gooch, finishing with 35 off 238 balls.

Day 3 of the Old Trafford Test was definitely a day of two halves: England scored 45 off the first 42 overs, 230 off the last 44.

Genuinely decided the series tbh. Aus bowlers were exhausted which carries onto the next games and going out to bat after 2 days in the field isn't exactly a picnic
