The Boxing Day Test is a mood

Cricket 2 hours ago
While it was the first Boxing Day Test viewing at the MCG for some, there were others who enjoyed the day in a slightly different fashion.

Pretty chuffed to watch my first ever Boxing Day test with my parents, and Teo who all woke up early to also see me perform standup at the Members’ breakfast at 8am! Huge thanks to @cricketaustralia for looking after us too! CARN STRAYA! 🙏🏾❤️ 🇦🇺

To the thousands of Kiwi fans at the MCG today, it’s time to fire up for 32 years of hurt.🔥This is for the Dyer ‘catch’, the Cairns ‘no-ball’ bouncer, the Mike Whitney dismissal, the Underarm, the 2015 CWC final & our first Boxing Day test since 1987 - bring it on! 🏏

Last time a team decided to bowl first in the Boxing Day Test: 2015. Australia declared their first innings against the West Indies at 3-551.

The only thing better than playing in a Boxing Day test has to be lying on the couch watching the Boxing Day test knowing the fridge is full of leftovers (& beer).

Renewing an American tradition (for me, anyway): the Boxing Day Test on Christmas night!

We are playing Uno as we watch the Boxing Day Test, in what I can only describe as the most wholesome Boxing Day ever

It’s been a long time since I watched the Boxing Day Test while sitting on the lounge in a sleepy fog. I’m usually sitting in the MCG press box in a sleepy fog.

Favourite Boxing Day Test memory: Andrew Symonds hitting Paul Collingwood for six over long-on to bring up his maiden century. His embrace with Haydos still brings a tear to my eye 🥺💕
