...and you thought its just a corporate trophy...

Balaji fired in a well-directed bouncer. A surprised Raina hopped to fend it off but at the last minute, perhaps due to the lack of sharp pace from Balaji, swayed away. That sign of weakness was enough for Dravid.

Next over, with the quicker Tyagi, Dravid waited till Raina took strike before making his moves. He brought a short square leg and moved a man into leg gully. All this was done within Raina's line of sight.

this was just beginning of how ruthlessly dravid went all the way to expose raina's weakness against short pitch bowling in his quest for a win... though raina somehow passed the phase and went on to play match winning innings... leaving dravid and his bowlers exhausted in frustration...

if there was any proof needed that with what intensity and competitiveness the corporate trophy matches are being played... this is it... not an inch given nor asked for...
