🏏Australia vs India, 3rd Test: Brisbane, 14 - 18 Dec 2024, Day 5 🏏 - Page 64

Prasanna S: "Well done groundsmen. They are the men of the match for me. Sometimes they never get their dues let's celebrate them. "

Venk: "Who does the rain saved? Aus or Ind" Interesting debate. You could cut it a number of ways. But rain is definitely the winner.

Travis Head is the player of the match: Feels like I batted quite a while ago to be honest. Happy to contribute, nice to get some runs and set us up in the first innings. Challenging wicket, worked through the gears well, pleased I was able to get through and set the team up. Was trying to sum up the conditions, feel like I've done that well, very happy with the tempo I'm batting with.

Travis Head is the player of the match: "Challenging wicket. I had to work through the gears. I had different plans, pleased I could get through those. Good partnership with Smit. I just try to sum up the conditions well. What I've done well this series is assess the conditions. Pleased with the tempo I've batted with. Pretty relaxed communication. Felt like he was back in his rhythm, and he gives me full freedom and confidence knowing he's going to be there for a long while. I feel like I am playing the situation in front of me. Very pleased with the way I am batting at the moment."

Rohit Sharma: "Obviously to have interruptions like that wasn't great, but going to Melbourne at 1-1 is great and gives confidence that we can go to Melbourne and pull something off there. The situation were in just after lunch, we wanted someone to stand up and take the game through. Keeping in mind the weather, we knew it wasn't going to be a full gajne, so credit to Jadeja, and not to forget Rahul at the top as well. And it was great to watch these guys to go out there and do their thing. And with the ball we were very good, especially Bumrah. Akash is a feisty character, he has superb talent. He is new to international cricket, but games like this can teach him so many things. And there are a couple of guys in the group who can put their arms around him and help him."

Players can go sight seeing now.

Pat Cummins | Australia Captain: Would be better to be 2-1, lot of rain, nothing we can do about it. We set a huge total and felt like we were right ahead of the game throughout. Poor Josh, one of those things, few rain breaks probably helped, Starc and I were able to push through. Day 5 here can be up and down, there wasn't much cricket played on it, felt challenging when the ball was hard.

Congratulations to Jadeja and KL for batting well. 👏👏.

Special thanks to the Rain 🌧️ 🌧️ 🌧️ 🌧️ ☔

for helping us DRAW the match.

We will start all over again in Melbourne.

One win will secure us the BGT. But, the question is, where do we have more chances to achieve this feet? In Melbourne or in Sydney?

I badly hope Bumrah gets a break. But, we don't have any replacement player. Poor thing has to continue without a break.

Cheers..
