Press Trust of IndiaIt was his party, but he spoilt it.
For Rahul Dravid the third Test against England here was his 100th, a landmark in his illustrious career. Before tea time on the fifth day today when his side collapsed for 100 in a batting display that he himself described as "bizarre", there was nothing for Dravid to celebrate.
His decision to put England in after winning the toss will haunt the Indian captain for a long, long time. It will rank among the most glaring tactical blunders made by a Test captain.
No wonder rival skipper Andrew Flintoff today described Dravid's decision as a bonus. England ran away with the match and tied the series 1-1 after amassing 400 in the first innings which put India on the backfoot.
