Question

Rahul Dravid and Mahendra Singh Dhoni batted with authority yesterday to steer India into a huge lead. Can someone tell me the details?

Answer 1

Rahul Dravid and Mahendra Singh Dhoni batted with authority yesterday to steer India into a huge lead as New Zealand were left with an uphill task of batting out two days to save the deciding Test. That task became harder after Harbhajan Singh dismissed opener Tim McIntosh to leave the tourists reeling at 24 for one, still needing 349 runs to make India bat again. “The key in this game, as we saw this morning, is that you have got to make an impact while the ball is hard and new,” Dravid told New Cricket channel. “Tomorrow’s morning session is going to be really important. The ball is still hard and if we have a few quick wickets early then we can put a lot of pressure on them.”
