With the third test in the series, now fast drawing to a close
The Australian team is ahead, by a veritable elephant's nose
This last session of play, they've scored the more than a run
Which has not filled, the Indian side with a stump load of fun
A substantial lead, has been built by the Aussie side
They've held their nerve, on the MCG's cricketing bide
Each ball they've faced, has not made them cower in any way
No Indian spinners or quickies, have yet put them away
After this match, there's sure to be a question put forward
As to why India ne'er got, that prized win on the board
Though they did attempt, to pepper Australia with mace
They weren't successful, with their bowling or batting grace
The series of five test matches, is no more alive and kicking
As our Australian side, weren't on the pitch to take a licking
India put in a supreme and gallant effort, during the game's play
But the Australian side, were out to unmake their day
