Most of us Believe that we do bad in second innings,but its really not hte fact.The fact is,we cannot play good in any innings,wheather it be the first or second. <table class="editorialTable2" align="center"><caption>Teams in 1st and 2nd innings since 1990</caption> <thead> <tr> <!-- headings for each column go in the "th" cells ---> <th>Team</th> <th>1st inng RPW</th> <th>2nd inng RPW</th> <th>Difference</th> <th>% difference</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <!-- table data go in the following pairs of rows ---> <tr> <td>Pakistan</td> <td>33.63</td> <td>31.24</td> <td>2.39</td> <td>7.11</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td>England</td> <td>33.08</td> <td>30.48</td> <td>2.60</td> <td>7.86</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Australia</td> <td>39.72</td> <td>35.81</td> <td>3.91</td> <td>9.84</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td>Zimbabwe</td> <td>27.88</td> <td>24.90</td> <td>2.98</td> <td>10.69</td> </tr> <tr> <td>New Zealand</td> <td>32.59</td> <td>28.99</td> <td>3.60</td> <td>11.05</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td>Bangladesh</td> <td>22.04</td> <td>19.32</td> <td>2.72</td> <td>12.34</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Sri Lanka</td> <td>34.51</td> <td>29.64</td> <td>4.87</td> <td>14.11</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td>India</td> <td>38.52</td> <td>31.32</td> <td>7.20</td> <td>18.69</td> </tr> <tr> <td>South Africa</td> <td>39.33</td> <td>31.04</td> <td>8.29</td> <td>21.08</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td>West Indies</td> <td>32.76</td> <td>25.29</td> <td>7.47</td> <td>22.80</td></tr></tbody></table>
But the problem is,every time we do better in a first innings,we compensate in the second,so the belief arises that we are not a capable second innings team
