The Great Game Called Cricket...

"The Great Wall Of India" Rahul Dravid makes history, he sur passes Allan borders
Record 11,174 and becomes the 4th highest run taker in the history of the game.

Rahul Dravid compiled a serene, yet commanding, 144 to lead India to a position of immense strength by lunch on the second day of the second Test in Kanpur. During his innings, Dravid overtook Allan Border's record of 11,174 Test runs to become the fourth-highest run-scorer in Tests.


The stand-out factor in Dravid's batting during this series has been his intent. He's been decisive, in defense and attack, and has been looking to score. Today he charged down the track, played gorgeous inside-out cover drives by stretching forward on that front foot, punched skillfully off the back foot but what stood out was a delectable late cut against Ajantha Mendis.
