Third Test - IN-PLAY

It's all over.

Fuck you to the WACA curator.

I will go to the MCG every night and make sure this pitch won't be green.

If I were England though and I bat first on the MCG, I would bat for 3 days.

That match will be a draw.

Rain is forecast on day 4 and 5. India need to make sure they are no more than 2 down at stumps and the rain will come.

I've studied the forecast.

AB De Villiers scores 100 in a session

Thankyou, Rostos!

India going along well.

India 2/190. They should bat all day tomorrow. From cricinfo.

Stumps on day three. Despite India's slow progress since tea, 444 runs were scored today. SA set the tone in the morning, with Kallis and AB wading into some pretty flat bowling. Things slowed down after that, but it's been a gripping day of play right through. South Africa still well and truly on top. More so, now that they have managed to get the openers out. The pitch is flatter - MUCH flatter than day one, the ball is now old, there is not much reverse, and on a sunny day, batting on this should be a pleasure. India have the batsmen to indulgle, but Steyn and Morkel will be back tomorrow pumped up and looking for scalps. Here's hoping the rain stays away and we have an equally intriguing fourth day.

My research was right. Rain is predicted. Draw @ $4.75 at the start of day 2 is looking pretty handy.
