RAIN PREVENTS PLAY
THIRD DAY OF TEST WICKET WATERLOGGED (10 a.m.) SYDNEY, Dec. 16. No play was possible yesterday in the second cricket Test between Australia and India. In the three scheduled days so far there has been only 6£ hours’ play Heavy rain last night and a steady drizzle yesterday morning left the ground waterlogged. 'With water still lying on the wicket, a brief inspection by the captains at-10 a.m. resulted in a decision to inspect again at 2 p.m. At this hour light rain was falling and a decision was left to the umpires, who had no hesitation in abandoning play for the day. Australia, with one down for 28, still needs 161 to head India’s 188.
