Australia's hopes of MCG Boxing Day Test victory worn down by fighting spirit of India's Nitish Kumar Reddy

ABC  

The rain first came on the stroke of tea, both as Australia's saviour and its tormentor. The rain may have briefly halted the progress of Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar, and then later ended the day early with the bulk of their work done, but it also cost Australia valuable time in a Test match it can ill afford not to win. Look back at big series in recent years Australia has failed to win — India's most recent visit four years ago, and the last two away Ashes series most notably — and you will find moments in matches where the game has been right there within grasping distance, but not seized. Nitish Kumar Reddy of India celebrates his century during day three of the fourth Test at the MCG. The odds in this game and consequently this series have swung significantly back in India's favour, and almost all of that can be put down to work of Nitish Kumar Reddy on day three.
