5 times rain ruined an India-Australia encounter

#4 1st Test, Brisbane 2003, Match Drawn

The four-test series between India and Australia in 2003 was a hugely anticipated one and it could have gotten off to a superb start in Brisbane, had rain not played spoil-sport. Zaheer Khan's five-wicket haul in the 1st innings triggered the Australian collapse as they went from 268-2 to 323 all out and India got a first innings lead of 86 thanks to Sourav Ganguly's majestic 144.

However, the match was always going to end in a draw due to the loss of around 170 overs due to rain. For anyone who has watched India-Australia Tests over the past 15 years or so would know that the Brisbane Test could have been a classic had rain not turned it into a snooze fest by the end of the 5th day.
