I think I got why I muddled the picture up with Zimbabwe. Less than a month before the England v NZ tie, India and Zim played out another one in Paarl (famously ending with one ball remaining because the last Indian batsman got run out on a wide ball while needing 2 to win; they got one for the wide) on Jan 27, 1997. That game was tied at 236 apiece, while the one the following month ended at 237. Maybe the closeness of the two scores tricked my poor memory :(
About Me
- RR
- There was once a man, nay a boy, who loved stories. For him, the world was a playground, a theatre, a quiz show, an amusement park and a laboratory all rolled into one. He did not know anyone else like himself, and he did not want to. He had little patience, and even less sympathy. In his unreal world, the only fragment of reality was his own self, hungry, ambitious and possessing the vision that only madmen possess. Madmen, or dreamers....even those who sleep with a nightmare under their pillows.
