The third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy scheduled from December 14 is set to be affected by rain - here are the weather forecasts for the Brisbane Test.
With the series poised evenly at 1-1, all attention has turned towards the Gabba, where history was created the last time these two teams met.
India will head into the third game of the series with several questions to answer combination-wise after their drubbing in Adelaide. Australia, on the other hand, could be bolstered by the return of Josh Hazlewood, but might also be tempted to keep Scott Boland, who had a good outing with the pink ball, in the XI.
Among the multiple factors expected to come into play in the third Test, one is the weather.
Forecasts suggest there are chances of rain across all five days of the Test, which has the potential to make the game even more fascinating, or maybe even frustrating.
Mark Taylor is not pleased with Mohammed Siraj's tendency to celebrappeal, calling it "disrespectful".

But more serious for Siraj is the threat of sanctions for it in ICC's Code of Conduct 😲
