da dobrowin： A statistical look at the fourth day’s play at Kolkata
Cricinfo staff19-Mar-2005 Shahid Afridi’s late burst on the fourth day added one more twist to an already fascinating Test. It was manic, it was raw, it was his first score over fifty away from home in nearly six years. His last substantial score was 141 against India in Chennai in 1998-99, a Test that Pakistan won. Hamilton first, and now Kolkata. Rahul Dravid became only the second Indian to hit two hundreds in the same Test on two or more occasions. He joins seven batsmen with two hundreds on two instances but falls short of Sunil Gavaskar, who did it three times.
