Tributes are planned for Shane Warne at today's Boxing Day test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. 9News
Twelve months after he burst onto the international Test scene, Scott Boland will get the chance to replicate his 2021 heroics when the Boxing Day Test gets underway in Melbourne this morning.
"It's a mark of the man really - he himself said 'I don't feel quite right' so he kind of pulled himself out of selection.Boland made a dream Test debut against England in the Boxing Day fixture last summer. He took 1-48 in the first innings, before almost single-handedly destroying England in the second, taking a sensational 6-7 from just four overs."We didn't really get to the decision point, we gave it enough time and it played out.
Meanwhile, Mark Taylor said the Boxing Day crowd would be boosted by the tributes to Shane Warne planned throughout day one. Warne's playing number 350 has been painted on the outfield, and a touching tribute will be shown on the big screen at 3.50pm this afternoon."We lost a number of greats, none greater than Warnie. I think will be terrific for the game and terrific for the Warne family," he said on TODAY.
