The Official Boxing Day Test Thread

[Flowboy]

And verily, the Lord spake to Ponting again, saying,

Cripeseth Rick, cans't thou get nothing right, I saideth day 4! Then He looked about for thunder and rain with which to quell the Pom attack and lo, things did not look good.

[Grunt]

Remember what I told you blokes about Langer during the first test.

A big ton, then zilch for the series until the last test where he saves his spot yet again. It's all on track to come true.

Gumby, the actual facts don't show this.

I never let the facts get in the way of an opinion.

[Rossluck]

It's all right ladies and gentlemen. The Queenslander's will pull you out of trouble.

[Grunt]

It's all right ladies and gentlemen. The Queenslander's will pull you out of trouble.

Yeah, just for something completely different.

[SPIRIT]

[Doughboy]

Sideshow Bob is a hack and should be dropped.

[craigb]

Sideshow Bob is a hack and should be dropped.

Yeah. One score out of how many innings? The Poms are bowling rubish too.

[Flowboy]

Extra! Extra!
Aussie bowlers humiliate English batting and bowling line-ups. Aussie batsmen consider using cardboard cutouts of themselves in field for England's second dig. Unsure of whether to bat in their second dig or just say Boo to Flintoff!

[Terry B]

All out for 419.
Now to get the poms out by tea.

[craigb]

You wouldn't want to have tickets for day four.

Freddy nods to Gillie, "yep I got an edge". Gillie would have walked. That's what sets Gillie apart from the rest.
