Aus vs Ind: Australia, India Resume 'Arm-Wrestle' As Covid Dominates Test Build-Up

By AFP News January 05, 2021 • 12:01 PM View: 2058

Australia and India resume their "arm-wrestle" Test series at 1-1 Thursday after a build-up marred by a coronavirus outbreak in Sydney and concerns over a potential biosecurity breach by the Indian team.

The four-Test series is finely poised after India, crushed by eight wickets in Adelaide -- where they fell for their record low of 36 -- emphatically bounced back in Melbourne.
