Despite Australia’s loss against India and a middle-order shambles, Glenn Maxwell has admitted that he isn’t in contention for a possible Test return. While stating that Australia have enough players, he warned that it is a double-edged sword for him to push his case in red-ball cricket.

Mohammed Siraj has told Cricket Australia Unit of being at the receiving end of racial slurs in the Sydney Test although the Sydney Morning Herald reported no such usage of words from the crowd. The publication reported that there was no indication of Siraj being racially abused by the crowd.

After India launched an official complaint at the end of Day 3 for copping alleged racist abuse from a section of fans, there were ugly scenes yet again on Day 4. Play was halted after Siraj complained of suffering abuse, and it eventually resulted in security guards evicting a group of fans.

Can you be dismissed LBW even if the ball misses all three stumps? Turns out you can, if it ends up hitting the fourth stump. In a bizarre chain of events on Day 3, a controversial ball-tracking graphic showed an Ashwin delivery clipping the ‘fourth stump’, though it conveniently missed leg stump.
