Match Savers is an Endangered Species

After watching the fourth day of Boxing day test i wonder whether there are any Match savers in modern day cricket. Not sure whether the advent of T20 has contributed to more tests not ending in a draw .It might be more because of lack of batsman who can grind it out and save test matches.

Now a days we either see teams chasing 300 plus runs in fourth innings or getting all out for less than 150.

We may never see any thing close to what Mike Atherton did in Johannesburg.



 More so because in the current generation of batsmen there are not many who has the technique to bat like him, Dravid etc.

Any way all credit to AUS for a well deserved victory.
