Srikkanth’s 90 stands out
NZPA-Reuter Leicester A spirited 90 off 78 balls by the Indian opener, Krishnan Srikkanth, enlivened a dull day’s play as India drew with Leicestershire yesterday in its last match before tomorrow’s second test. The visitors were set 242 runs to win in a minimum of 36 overs and finished the day at 154 for four, with 9.3 overs remaining. Srikkanth hit 13 fours and a six before being
caught on the mid-wicket boundary, 10 short of his century. The Indians then called off the hopeless chase. Dour tactics by Leicestershire never gave the Indians much chance. The home side took 64 overs to score 185 runs yesterday, then adopted defensive field placings for their four pace bowlers. Short scoreboard.— Leicestershire 269, and 244 decl. (R. A. Cobb 80, L. Potter 65). India 272, and 145 (K. Srikkanth 90).
