Boland out

This Boxing Day Ashes Test just about had it all. Until it didn’t. 

Aussies dominant with the bat on Day One, England dominant with the ball on Day Two. Game in! Then ruthless Australia struck back to put England on the ropes. And knocked them out in an hour on Day Three. All out 68. Ya. 68. 

Ashes newbie Scott Boland had a six-fer: six wickets for seven runs. Right! 6-7 in four overs at 1.3. Wow!

The boys at The Grade Game make a meal of it, close of Day Two. And now Day Three

Sweet and Sour. Would have loved a bit more of a game of it. Still. Celebrations at the MCG were something! Glad I watched it all.
