"Before Australia's second innings started, their target of 281 was was said to be very difficult. But they got 386 in their first innings...what makes the second one so much harder?"
Conditions are quite different, ball moving more and wicket will be worn, tiredness comes in too, but IMHO 281 isn't a very difficult total to chase. It could yet be problematic but it's not a huge total.
