The Australian cricket team under Pat Cummins has set his sights on the Boxing Day Test against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). This festival has been celebrated every December 26th and has seen Australia produce some spirited performances in the past years.
With the fall of the Border Gavaskar Trophy series starting, that may be as good a time as any to have a look at the past encounters of the Australian cricket team in the Boxing Day Test match at the MCG. The Australian cricket team also appears to possess that invincible aura when playing at the MCG as if the venue really holds some magical power for them. The Australians will look forward to building on that good run they have started with big victories in both Adelaide and Brisbane.
As so much is on the line in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the Boxing Day Test match should be a cracker between two titans of the cricketing world. Can India win at MCG or will the Australians rampage on again?
