Test Four between Australia and India kicks off in Sydney tonight.
It's been an emotional test series for the host nation Australian squad, as they continue to play in honor of fallen countryman Philip Hughes. Hughes died taking a bowler to the dead in November.
The Aussies have been able to keep their emotions in check, though, running out to a 3-0 lead against India. The series is wrapped up before the final test has even begun. Australia has now won 10 of its last 11 test series dating back to 2010.
One personnel development to keep an eye on: no Mitchell Johnson for the Baggy Greens this week, as the reigning ICC Cricketer of the Year was scratched from the lineup, due to a hamstring injury. Mitchell Starc takes his place.
Although it doesn't carry the tragic life-and-death stakes of Australia's tribute to Hughes, India will be playing this match in memory of recently retired captain MS Dhoni. Newly appointed captain Virat Kohli told reporters that he hopes to bring the same calm leadership to the position as Dhoni did.
