India-Australia 'A' match ends in draw - Scorecard

Hobart, Dec 21: Opener Sadagopan Ramesh failed with the bat yet again even as the three-day cricket match between India and Australia 'A' ended in a dreary draw here today.

Southpaw Ramesh, who opened the innings with Aakash Chopra, followed his first innings score of four with 22 in the second knock as India, chasing 308 in 41 overs for a win, ended the match at 66 for 2 at the Bellerive Oval.

Deep Dasgupta was batting on 19 and Parthiv Patel was yet to open his account when both the captains -- Sourav Ganguly of India and Michael Hussey of Australia 'A' -- agreed for a draw after 33 overs into the visitors' second innings.

Chopra, who made 25, was the other Indian wicket to fall on the final day. Ramesh was caught hooking at square leg for 22. Agencies.
