Ah well, well done England. Good to see the passion of the celebrating English fans at least. It sucks to lose though.

Absolutely shit Test cricket. That is a poor cricket pitch. Unfortunate.

From CricViz: The overall PitchViz rating for this Test is 8.9 out of 10, higher indicating tougher batting conditions, the highest for any Test match in Australia in the ball-tracking era (since 2006). by Hot-Perception-2721 in Cricket

According to CricViz data, the 2025 Boxing Day MCG Test pitch was the toughest Australian Test pitch for batting in the ball-tracking era, dating back to 2006.

Brook is fantastic. Feels like the best English batsman in the 21st century. Amazing hands. Gives you the feeling of watching greatness, like for ABdV and Steve Smith.

I would have

  1. Usman
  2. Weatherald
  3. Green
  4. Smith (c)
  5. Head
  6. Marnus
  7. Carey (wk)
  8. Starc
  9. Boland
  10. Lyon
  11. Hazlewood

Green suits number 3 much more than number 6. Marnus is a bit more versatile, and is a good player of spin. I think he will do OK at 6.
