Australia v Sri Lanka - 2nd Test - MCG Boxing Day

[whufc]

What a waste for Mitchell Starc to be 'rested'.

What a waste of a Boxing day Test on Sri Lanka.

2/19

X2. It's a programming disgrace

Who would you like us to play?
Its Sri Lanka's turn to tour so they deserve a Boxing Day Test

Exactly can't have England or Saffies every year

I would have thought the Saffer series would have more importance than the Lankans. So why not swap those two series around?

South Africa have said they will never play a Boxing Day Test in Australia ever again.
They play on Boxing Day at home

Because there refusing to play Boxing Day here, because we won't go and play a Boxing Day match in SAF

Saffers won't play Boxing Day in Oz until the ACB agree's to share the day with them for series between the 2 countries .. Which won't happen in the forseeable future, if it all.

And rightly so.
Boxing Day is the biggest Test of the year and Australia should always play it at the MCG.
Why should we go to wanker land and play infront of a crowd smaller than most shield games.
The crowds over there are embarassing

Very similar situation to North Melbourne 'creating' Friday Night Footy.

Eventually everyone wants a piece of the pie and eventually they will get it.

Differance is due to climate only 3 countries are capable of holding a Boxing Day Test so Australia will never have to give it up because there are 6 other nations that have to tour to the southern hemisphere. Not fussed if we never play the Saffers here on Boxing Day, they can play infront of their pissy crowds

You really don't like Yarpies, do you Jim?

He reminds me of Eddie McGuire regarding Collingwood

[mighty_tiger_79]

[mighty_tiger_79]

[carey]

Agreed but i see SA point of view if you wont play here we wont play there.

Unfortunaitly the australian public willl now watch sub standard tests on boxing day

[Media Park]
