It’s amazing that in the last ODI game, that many people criticised @msdhoni and he got a rough LBW decision, now with @imVkohli and @DineshKarthik he finishes a great game. Dhoni is a freak. Been saying it for years.

When: Australia v India, 3rd ODI, January 18, 01.20 pm Local, 07:50 am IST

Where: MCG, Melbourne

What to expect

On Thursday, Melbourne lived up to its unique reputation of being a "four seasons in a day" city. Much to the relief of the tennis stars at the Australian Open, an afternoon shower brought with it some relief from the unforgiving heat wave that's sent temperatures soaring around the country. That the rain came on a day scheduled to be the hottest of the first week only made it better.

The Indians and Australians haven't had it easy either so far in the ODI series with regards to the weather. The conditions were so sweltering in Adelaide that an additional drinks-break was added to both innings, and at one point the umpires had to step in and have a word with the Indian substitutes for repeatedly running in with water for their batsmen in the middle. The 44-degree heat had even Dhoni struggling to keep himself hydrated, and it was a relief to see him fit and ready at the practice session. It was not surprising to see none of the Indian fast bowlers, including the reserves, show up for the nets. In fact, only six did overall, and they were all mainly batsmen.

The heat wave is receding rapidly, and the temperatures are expected to begin dropping from Friday onwards. A highest of 28 degrees should bode well for every athlete who steps up to the plate at the Melbourne Sports Precinct on Friday, whether with bat, ball or racquet in hand.
