All eyes of the cricket world will be on Melbourne Friday, as host nation Australia takes on India in the third of four tests between the two powerhouse countries.
The Baggy Greens are still reeling emotionally from the death of Phil Hughes. This match will mark the one-month anniversary since Hughes took a bouncer to the head in a domestic match, slipping into a coma that he would eventually die from.
Mitchell Johnson, who is not only the world's best bowler but the 2014 ICC Cricketer of the Year as well, went so far as to tell reporters recently that he is hesitant to bounce bowlers anymore.
Through all that, it speaks to Australia's sheer dominance as a squad that they've managed to table all these raw emotions and still jump out to a 2-0 lead over India in this series. After besting South Africa in the series beforehand, there's little denying they are the current favorites to take the 2015 World Cup.
