Persistent rain forces a likely draw in the third cricket test between India and Australia

Associated Press  

BRISBANE, Australia — It was another day of rain at the Gabba in Brisbane on Tuesday, almost ensuring the third cricket test between Australia and India would end in a soggy draw. More importantly, India avoided having to follow-on with a late flurry of tail-end runs in fading light Tuesday, forcing Australia to bat again and almost ensuring a draw by the end of the fifth day on Wednesday. Rain delay after rain delay has spoiled the Gabba match and forced Cricket Australia to refund tickets to about 35,000 spectators who attended the first day because not enough overs were bowled. Australia will have to take one more wicket on the fifth day and either bat again or declare their innings for nil and risk losing the test if India can chase down the remaining runs.
