Brisbane - Frustrated captain Pat Cummins (above) said yesterday that Australia controlled the third Test against India at the Gabba and could have won but for the dire Brisbane weather.
Rain delays led to the loss of 249 overs during the match, ending any Australia hopes of pushing for a victory and a lead in the five-Test series.
The match ended drawn and the two sides now head to Melbourne level at 1-1 with two Tests to play.
The only day which wasn't affected by weather was Sunday, with the other four days losing significant playing time, as players were forced off the field on multiple occasions.
