India practise batting in drawn game
Afp, Mutare
India will return to Harare from mountain valley town Mutare where they got some competitive batting practice ahead of the first Test against Zimbabwe starting in Bulawayo on Tuesday.India succeeded well enough by playing a token three-day, drawn match against a Zimbabwe Board XI, with seven of their batsmen getting spells at the crease. Centuries were made by Virender Sehwag (123), Gautam Gambhir (126) and Rahul Dravid 108 not out. The latter retired on his overnight 102 on Friday, but resumed later Saturday to add just another six runs.
