Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Dear list, I just came across an article in the India Times, one of the world newspapers I keep my eye on via the internet. In Australia, cricket is a very big sport here and so I have been following it for many years. In general, I like to keep across records of all types in many areas. It seems that both Virender Sehwag and Rahul are on the verge of breaking the long-standing world record for a first wicket partnership. Even Virender Sehwag's 247 runs so far, is phenonemal. Does anyone have the birth times of these two? The birth data I have for Virender Sehwag is: 20 October 1978, Delhi, India The birth data I have for Rahul Dravid is: 11 January 1973, Indore, India Regards, Neville ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ India Times: Sehwag, Dravid pound Pakistan Virender Sehwag smashed a breathtaking unbeaten 247 and put on an epic unfinished 403-run opening stand with Rahul Dravid to frustrate Pakistan and restore balance on a record-shattering day of the first Test in Lahore on Monday. The flamboyant Sehwag and Dravid (128) put themselves tantilisingly close to breaking the world record opening partnership as the visitors cruised to 403 for no loss in reply to Pakistan's 679 for seven declared before play was called off early due to bad light on a truncated penultimate day of the match. India's new opening pair was just 11 runs short of breaking Vinoo Mankad and Pankaj Roy's long standing world record for opening partnership established against New Zealand in Chennai in 1955-56.
