Australia plan ‘bouncy’ pre-Christmas party for India at Gabba

The Gabba hosts the crucial third Test between India and Australia, who boast a formidable pre-Christmas record at the venue, when they have lost only seven of 61 Tests. Post-Christmas, they have lost three of five. The pitch curator aims for a traditional Gabba pitch with pace and bounce. The match begins on December 14, with the five-match series level at 1-1.
