Bad day for Dravid

London June 18. India's Rahul Dravid, who is playing for Scotland in the English league, had a particularly bad day yesterday — both on and off the field.

On the field Dravid was out, leg before wicket, for just six runs as his side slid to 36 for five and was shot out for 143 in reply to Middlesex's score of 255 for nine in 45 overs.

A bigger shock awaited him when he learnt that the dressing room had been broken into and he had lost £200 and a gold bangle. Valuables of other players were also missing.

``I haven't spoken to Rahul but I am sure he is pretty cross,'' Chris Carruthers, the president of Scottish Cricket Limited, said.

``But there is a large sign in the dressing room saying that players should take responsibility for their own valuables. We know when you play at club grounds these things are likely to happen.''

Scotland coach Tony Judd said, ``It was disappointing there weren't some attendants watching the rooms.''

He was disappointed with his team's performance too, although he said ``we're taking it as a compliment that sides are preparing so thoroughly against us.''
