Head바카라s counter attacking 146 not out off 156 balls put Australia in a commanding position after day one of the World Test Championship final against India on Wednesday. 

He shared an unbeaten 251-run stand with Smith who is five runs shy of a hundred.

바카라I've always said I do really enjoy batting with Steve because of how much attention he receives. He바카라s one of the best players in the world, probably our best player," said Head. 

바카라He바카라s our best batter, he바카라s unbelievable in these conditions, and he receives so much attention from opposition in terms of plans and how difficult he is to bowl to, so I바카라ve always said going out to bat with him, it feels like you바카라re in the shadow of that, you can sort of stay under the radar and go about your business,바카라 he said.

Head hammered 22 fours and the only six of the game so far for his first century outside Australia. 

The southpaw said his current frame of mind and the technical changes he made to his batting after 2019 has contributed to his impressive run.

바카라Losing the toss in the morning I thought it was going to be a challenging day. Nice to contribute nice to get a good start.바카라

Talking about his approach, he added: 바카라I said in the lead in to the game, if balls are there to be scored off I am going to score off it. There were challenging periods but the ball gets to the boundary very quickly here if you find middle of the bat.

바카라Technically, I have made those changes but for all around. I felt I needed to adapt to each condition. The foundations in my game has surely a changed a lot since 2019.바카라
