Boxing Day Test - Day 1 - Australia vs India

The only way to spend Boxing Day in Melbourne is at the MCG for the first day of the Boxing Day test. The crowd swelled to over 70,000 by the afternoon. 


Advance Australia Fair was sang and Australia won the toss, electing to bat first...


All eyes were on one man, the man India worship, possibly the best batsman of all time, aiming to get 100 hundreds on Australian soil... Sachin Tendulkar.


Cowan and Warner get Australia off to a good start. Warner gets of to a great start, smashing the ball for the only six of the day, but goes a few overs later...


I promise I've got my England shirt on underneath (Barmy Army!)...


The sun comes out in the afternoon and all 90 overs are bowled. Play ends after 6:30pm.

Australia go on to win the match on Thursday inside four days.
