India pulling it off
So what happened in the cricket today? A mere 205 runs scored, at a glacial SR of 38. In the 3rd innings there have been only 122 scoring shots played off 644 balls bowled. India merely occupying the crease, doing everything in their power to avoid getting out, to the complete and utter neglect of other considerations. I swear, so focussed was he on precisely raising a willow wall to every delivery, Dravid even shut down his facial muscles, until he got out. The fielding team, the spectators, the scorers were ground to sand by boredom. Basically test cricket at its most glorious.
If the previous three days have been some of the best days of cricket I have ever seen a New Zealand team play, today’s effort by India is one of the great stonewalling efforts.
It would be fair now to predict a draw in this test.
