Australia opener Chris Rogers wants to score a century on the opening day of the Boxing Day Test against India in Melbourne starting on December 26.
“To go out and play in a second Boxing Day Test, that’s something you dream of and can’t take away. Hopefully, I can get a score because I do like playing here. A hundred in a Boxing Day Test, as it was last year, would be as good as it gets,” said Rogers.
At the Gabba last week, Australia lost six wickets in the chase of 128 but Rogers said the team’s attacking approach was a deliberate ploy.
“Those short chases are always a little bit tricky and I think you’ve got to try and get them done quickly,” he said.
“So once the opportunity was there to play a few shots I took it and it fortunately came off. Despite the wobble at the end I always thought we were going to get home.”
