Over-by-over report: The Boxing Day Test continues at the MCG. Join our writers for updates from Melbourne
A good Melbourne morning to wherever you may be in the world. It is the day after Boxing Day, which makes it the Boxing Day of Boxing Day if you will. If you won’t… well, I’ve got the keyboard. First of all, let me tell you that it is shaping up to be a scorcher. After weeks of cold weather, the early sunlight in Melbourne today has that particular hard glint that Australian sun gets when it is preparing itself to land hammers on the anvil of the earth below.
How are you feeling? Happy, contented, fat as a lamb? Maybe none of those things. This season isn’t great for everyone, we know that. Having the cricket on is great though, unless perhaps you’re a fan of South African batting, which has been less so. But their bowlers can have a say today.
