Dravid's unique distinction

December 15, 2003 06:28 IST
By Rajneesh Gupta

Dravid became first batsman in Test history to remain unbeaten at 199 at the end of a day's play. Dravid joined the select band of three other batsmen who remained unbeaten in the 190s when umpires announced the close of play. However there are quite a few instances of a batsman remaining unbeaten at 99 at the end of a day's play.
