"It didn't take me long to figure it out in the first spell itself (today) that the wicket has changed. But I also thought the bowlers might tire and bowl indifferently at some stage," Rahul Dravid said on Wednesday. "However, even when their change bowlers came, they bowled the good right areas and there wasn't much breathing space till after lunch. "We lost a few wickets and we needed to bat on and put up a decent score on the board. So I had to play differently." Dravid praised Heath Streak for the quality of his bowling and said he needed watching all day. "He wasn't easy to negotiate at any point of time, especially with the second new ball when he bowled a searching spell. Dravid picked up a catch in Zimbabwe's second innings which gave him three in the match and an overall tally of 127 catches, the best among Indians and on way to overtaking Mark Waugh's tally of 161 catches. "Greg Chappell and Ian Frazer have focused very hard on fielding. We have taken some good catches and hopefully we would keep doing it," the vice-captain said. "It's important when you get chances you need to hold on to it, especially against good teams." Streak, who took career-best 6/73, praised his team-mates for his unprecedented success and said he concentrated on bowling on one side of the wicket. "All of us bowled well and created pressure on the batsmen and I would think it helped me as well. I concentrated on bowling on one side of the wicket." in-depth coverage > India in Zimbabwe 2005 > |
