Mitchell Starc’s ‘sensational’ act sparks telling Aussie celebration

Australia is destroying India at the Gabba, and one player had a hand in two wickets that came about in eerily similar fashion.

Australia started Day 3 of the third Test in a dominant position with the wet weather once again wreaking havoc in Brisbane.

Alex Carey took control early on day 3 before the Aussies were eventually bowled out for 445, with Pat Cummins opting not to make a declaration.

That decision from the Aussie skipper didn’t sit well with commentators who had hoped he would declare to start bowling much sooner.

But the Aussie captain stuck with his guns as Carey piled more misery on India’s bowling attack.

Australia’s bowlers took three quick wickets to leave India in all sorts of trouble at the lunch break.

Then the heavens opened and another lengthy delay ensued. Cummins struck gold shortly after play resumed as he removed the dangerous Rishabh Pant.

But then more rain tumbled, hopes rose late in the day that more overs would be bowled but the Brisbane weather wasn’t having it with play once again coming to an early end.

With two days left to play the Aussies will be hoping for some clear skies as they attempt to secure the 2-1 lead in the series.
