Sehwag & Dravid failed to break world record
Indian openers Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid squandered a golden chance of breaking the world record opening partnership as the weather-hit first cricket Test match between India and Pakistan at the Gaddafi Stadium here ended in a tame draw today.
The dismissal of the swashbuckling Delhi batsman meant that Vinoo Mankad and Pankaj Roy`s record of 413 established against New Zealand in Chennai in 1955-56 remains intact.
Only eight wickets fell during the course of the match while over 1000 runs were scored on a placid track at the Gaddafi Stadium, which has come in for heavy flak from various quarters.
