Move onto Brisbane now for the decider and what a place the Gabba is to play at. I d also like to say sorry to @mohammedsirajofficial and the Indian team as racism, and abuse is not in any way acceptable or tolerated anywhere at any time, and I would expect better from our home crowd, he added.
The crowd did not stop on day four of the Sydney Test as Siraj along with Rahane had a word with umpire Paul Reiffel regarding the unruly behaviour of the crowd. Visuals on television indicated that there were some words spoken for Siraj who was fielding near the boundary rope. Both the umpires then had a word with each other and the police then asked a group of men to leave the stand.
Highlights
Pant missed out on what would ve been one of the most memorable centuries
Pant smashed 12 fours and three sixes during his whirlwind knock
Rishabh Pant played a sensational knock, smashing 97 off just 118 deliveries, to keep India s hopes alive on the fifth and final day of the ongoing third Test against Australia in Sydney on Monday. While Pant missed out on what would have been one of the most memorable centuries in recent times, he certainly won many hearts with his fearless approach that made Australia toil in the field. The wicketkeeper-batsman, who didn t keep wickets during Australia s second innings after suffering a blow to his left elbow, came out all guns blazing and took the Australian bowlers apart with his counter-attacking approach, and smashed 12 fours and three sixes.
Australia vs India: A video of Australia's Steve Smith scuffing Rishabh Pant's batting guards during the drinks break became a huge talking point on social media.
Australia vs India: Marnus Labuschagne was not out on 47 while Steve Smith was unbeaten on 29 as Australia finished Day 3 at 103/2, leading India by 197 runs.
Australia vs India: Steve Smith decided to steal a second run but Ravindra Jadeja's direct hit caught him well short of his crease, bringing Australia's first innings to an end at 338.
