Draw likely in cricket test
NZPA-AAP Adelaide India has a lead of 10 runs with a day to play in the first cricket test against Australia at Adelaide Oval At stumps last evening India was 391 for seven in reply to the Australian first innings total of 381. . Sunil Gavaskar, who resumed yesterday after being sidelined by an arm injury, was on 94 and Roger Binny 34. India put on only 215 during the day’s play, but rain took 30 minutes from the morning session. Australia’s new fast bowler,
Bruce Reid, has bowled 42 overs so far for 20 maidens and taken three for 80 to head the Australian bowling. The game seems doomed for a draw in the three-test series.
