Dravid’s classic 190 props up India
Rahul Dravid, the 27-year-old right handed batsman from Karnataka saved India from total embarrassment in India’s first innings at Hamilton on day three of the third Test. His third Test century would have to be one of his best innings because it was on a pitch that encouraged the seam bowlers and because of the state of the match. Chance for English MICHAEL Slater, with a little help from a friend, produced a scintillating century to set the SCG alight and single-handedly propelled Australia to a position of favouritism. However, England came bouncing back with their own brand of aggression and everything is set for a great final day of the series.
