Wow.  VOGES IN A HURRY 100 Balls taken by Voges to make his century - the fastest in Hobart. The previous quickest in Tests at this venue was by Gilchrist who took 110 balls v Pak in 1999.  Adam Voges scoring a "run-a-ball 100" |

Interesting to compare and contrast this game with the game in NZ... played at about same time.. 2 hours ahead Australia are getting on with things as NZ are, but unlike the NZ game.. Australia could bat on all day today (and beyond). I do hope the Aussies have one eye on TIME!!! It is fine to score 500 - 600 runs and so for all intents and purposes bat the opposition out of the game... BUT.. as always to WIN a test match you need to bowl the opposition out.. TWICE and you have to organisze your own innings (or 2) to allow TIME to do that. Weather was reported to likely cause some loss of playing time.. today or over next 4 days.. so... Australia need to get on with things.. possibly DECLARE early? As with NZ game.. 400+ is ENOUGH runs for anybody as 1st innings score.

Day 3 start of play in less than an hour..... WI have fought back and gained some respectability on the scorecard. Darren Bravo has led the charge with a good effort, he will come out on 94. But WI still have a lot of work to do, they still trail by 376. |

The Boxing Day Test A Test match played in Australia at The Melbourne Cricket Ground V Whichever side is Touring Aust that year Always commences on "Boxing Day" (The day after Christmas), 26th December. Unfortunately that translates to Christmas day in the USA. 5:30 pm Christmas Day, Texas Time  It's an "event". Often Celebs (who follow cricket) turn up. Even If I have not been following cricket in the season.. I have always watched the Boxing Day Test. 2nd Test - Australia v West Indies Sat Dec 26 - Wed Dec 30 10:30 local (23:30 GMT -1d | 12:30 NZDT) Melbourne Cricket Ground |

More info at Wikepedia... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_Day_Test Quote: The Boxing Day Test match is a cricket Test match in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia involving the Australian cricket team and an opposing national team which is touring Australia that summer. It begins annually on Boxing Day (26 December) and is played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Every four years, the Boxing Day Test forms part of the five-match Ashes series with England.
