Robbed of victory

G'day sports fans,

🏏 Left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann could make a shock Test debut in the second game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series after being flown to India.
The left-arm orthodox bowler from Queensland has been summoned to India to replace leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson, who's returning home for the birth of his child.
🏏 Plans for Australia's batters to practice on the Nagpur pitch that had confounded them in the Border Gavaskar Trophy series opener have been scuppered by local curators.
Only hours before a planned training session on what should have been day four of the first Test, the Aussies were forced to cancel after learning the surface they played on as well as the practice nets had been watered.
