3rd Day New Zealand Vs India | Lead of 150 Fantastic Says Dravid

Rahul Dravid

Former Captain Rahul Dravid feels if India managed to Give New Zealand Lead of 150runs would be very handy in the first test on Day three.

On a difficult track to give a 150 lead would be a "fantastic mark". After the Second day play which India end up with 278 for 4 with 1 run trial, Dravid said "More the merrier. I don't think there is a number in place at this stage. The wicket is going to remain the same right through and it is not easy to score runs against a harder and newer ball,"

Veteran Batsmen Dravid further added "If we can get 150 ahead it would be fantastic. But we need to do the basics right and not worry about the runs. We need to get through that new ball tomorrow.

Rahul Dravid also Equals the Mark Waugh Record for test Catches. Dravid also Feels happy with his form as he scored his 54th half century in 132 Tests.

Dravid further added In 2003, the wicket seamed a lot when 150 was a good score. This one has been a good, even wicket. There is something in it for the bowlers. And if the batsmen play well, you can still score runs, like Jesse Ryder and Vettori showed on Wednesday and some of us showed in our innings,
