Gavaskar 's 173 contained 12 boundaries only! aka 125 runs taken in
running off
290 ball... good strike rate for a "Test"....
Further more, he accelarated with Ratra and then allowed Powar his
lead....

Gambhir frittered away chance for a vry big score but Rohan took it...

On the day, Rohan scored 147 runs in 4 hours in 225 odd balls....
Granted lanka A attack is no great shakes but they just had a good
springbok tour (are we still allowed to call them that?)..

Looks like a draw still but you never know Karthik and maybe Munaf
have tended to do well in second innings...

Gavaskar 's 173 is not the highest for India in this level.. It is
Khoda 's 189 in Pakistan but... It is highest at home for A teamster,
Pranob Roy scored 160* for BP Xi vs International XI back in 1980...
and not an A test, Gambhir has 218 vs Zimbabwe for BP XI. Kanitkar has
143* in A-test vs windies,,,

When kanitkar scored, he was sent to australia as replacement for...
