Cardiff: Rahul
Dravid was in no mood to let England have it easy in the fifth ODI
which is also his last for India. A huge reception from the spectators
at Cardiff was reciprocated with a powerful fifty by the veteran
batsman.
Dravid walked in after Ajinkya Rahane's innings was cut short on 26 by Jade Dernbach. Parthiv Patel followed soon after but Dravid batted as he always has and anchored himself in. He scored on both sides of the wicket and was partnered well by Virat Kohli, 15-years junior to him in age. That Kohli kept pushing Dravid for the extra run just showed that like Dravid himself told NDTV: India in ODIs has moved on.
Dravid's half-century had 2 boundaries and came off just 62 deliveries. He was eventually dismissed by Graeme Swann on 69.
