3rd Test: India vs Australia
The four-match series between the two best sides in the world exploded into life at Bangalore as India levelled the series and skipper Virat Kohli almost levelled his opposite number!
In a second innings flashpoint, the Indians were incensed when Steve Smith appeared to seek guidance from his dressing room when considering an appeal. The two skippers have since met to build bridges, but it’s all added spice to an already pulsating series.
For online betting fans, the clear favourite for the third test is India at betting odds of 1.60. But Australia are capable of roughing up their hosts again after storming to first test victory in Pune. Left-arm spinner Steve O’Keefe took 12 wickets to shock the hosts, and the Aussies were in control of the second test until the dramatic climax as temperatures soared.
The tourists’ chief slow bowler Nathan Lyon had taken a career-best 8 for 50 and his team was set a modest 188 to go two up, until up stepped the spin king Ravi Ashwin to take 6 for 41 as the Aussies were bowled out for just 112. In the heat of battle, skipper Smith was trapped LBW and inexplicably looked to the dressing room before deciding whether to review, a move clearly outlawed in the game.
So with the spinners in charge and the added needle in the dressing rooms, the third test is set up beautifully. You can back Australia at 4.50 or the draw at 4.00.
But another display of explosive cricket is a dead cert.
