CS Dept. Lines: 37 Summary: The third test between India and Australia was drawn (like the first two). The scores were: India 600 for 4 declared (India's highest against Australia in Aus.) Gavaskar 172, Srikanth 116 (his first century), Amarnath 137, Kapil Dev 42, Vengsarkar 37 n.o., Azharuddin 59 n.o. Australia replied very solidly in the first innings and at the end of the 4th day they were 300+ for 4 but lost their last 5 wickets in 9 runs to be all out for 392 (Boon 100+, Marsh 98, Border 70+). Yadav took 5/99 and Shashtri 4/101. Following on they lost 6 wickets for 96 by the 4th mandatory over but managed to draw at 119 for 6. Yadav took 4 and Shashtri 2. Earlier in the first test Gavaskar scored another century and also crossed 9000 runs in test cricket (the next best Boycott is around 8200). That test was drawn due to bad weather. Only one inning each was played and Kapil Dev took 8 Australian wickets in their inning. In the second test India almost won but for a 170+ by captain Border in the second inning and lost time due to bad light. Now India, Australia and New Zealand will play in the Benson and Hedges One Day tournament. For Hockey Fans, India won the 4 nation tournament in Sharjah a few days back. Though they tied with W. Germany for points, they won because of a better goal difference. Pakistan was third and England was fourth. amitabh' -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Amitabh Shah, Dept. of Computer Science Cornell University, Ithaca NY 14853.
