Just checked.... you have mentioned final scores. I was looking only at Dravid and his overnight score and final score were 199*... probably coz this piece was written that same night. However, the other batsmen do have their final scores against their names. So ignore my previous post please. Thanx!!
PS: Interesting! None of the batsmen failed to reach their respective magic numbers.
Re. your column, one interesting piece of statistics stat would be whether the batsmen on 99 or 199 overnight actually went on to make their centuries or double centuries and what score they finally got to!!
