For those expecting a prompt start to the Boxing Day test at 11.30pm this evening... don't hold your breath. For most of today in Melbourne it's been bloody cold, wet and windy. Amongst the worst weather they've had at Christmas in years!!
We went to the Barmy Army Christmas BBQ to pick up our match tickets for the next few days... and we got caught in a bloody hail storm!! Not the sort of storm to get caught in when just wearing an England cricket top and shorts. Anyway brief respite and change of clothes before more grog down town this evening. Over 2000 people at the Christmas BBQ and Melbourne is positively heaving with the English where ever you go... a huge Brit invasion... should make for an amazing atmosphere at the MCG.
Can't believe we stuffed it up (again) against Wolves, doesn't help with a gold scum supporter staying in the hotel who's built like Giant Haystacks. Here's to 3 points against Sarrfend tomorrow... and a jolly good day at the MCG.
Merry Christmas Wrathers!!
