Brisbane: Australia's four-day defeat of India in the second Test gave the cricketers extra time for holiday shopping. And for the home side's various injuries to heal ahead of the third test which begins on Friday in Melbourne.

Opener David Warner (left wrist) and Mitchell Marsh (right hamstring), as well as fast bowler Ryan Harris, who missed Brisbane after hurting his groin in the Adelaide opener, are all question marks for the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The in-form Warner was struck by a rising delivery in the second over of Australia's second innings on Saturday. He pulled off his glove and carried on batting, but was caught behind soon after for 6 off the bowling of Ishant Sharma.
