Replying to Holland's score of 268, the visitors who won the first three-day tie, handed the hosts a lesson in batting with Rohan Gavaskar (138), Sanjay Raul (103 n.o.) scoring superb centuries and Jyoti Yadav (87) narrowly missing one.

Earlier, Gavaskar and Rajiv Kumar resuming on the overnight score of 258 for two added 33 runs before Kumar (58) was out. Their third-wicket stand which realised 185 runs was broken by Soebebur when he had Kumar caught behind by Houber after the hosts took the second new ball on the rain-marred third and final day.

Gavaskar, who had the distinction of remaining unconquered on the tour thus far, finally fell to Ravi Singh who got him to hole out to mid-wicket after resuming on his overnight 106. His knock wasstudded with 18 boundaries and a six.

Coach Krishnamachari Srikkanth had a special word of praise for the legendary Sunil Gavaskar's son and Jyoti Yadav as batsmen ``with a very good future''.

The coach was also happy that the visitors had finally got a ``good opposition'' in the last match of the tour as the earlier matches turned out to be one-sided affairs which India `A' won by thumping margins.

Brief scores:
Holland 268 drew with India 'A' 505-5 (V Rathore 55, Rajiv Kumar 58, R Gavaskar 138, S Raul 103 n.o., J Yadav 87)
