Australia's novice openers thankful for India's bowling problems ahead of Boxing Day Test

It is the spiritual home of Australian sport staging one of the highlights of the Australian calendar. On Dec 26 every year the massed ranks of cricket fans gather at the vast Melbourne Cricket Ground, known locally as the 'G’. There is an absence of festive spirit as they generate an intimidating atmosphere in expectation of some visiting turkeys being skinned alive by their ruthless champions in the Boxing Day Test.

But not this year. The visitors, India, positively groan with experience and pedigree with their four galacticos – Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Virender Sehwag and VVS Laxman – still resident at the heart of their batting order. And it is doubtful whether Australia have ever fielded such a bunch of greenhorns in any Test, never mind the Boxing Day one...............

never mind you Aussies!

We will have our own test match

Joshua - no tutorial needed - think of it as baseball on a sleep inducing pill!
