    Delight for Australian cricketer Scott Boland to have another opportunity to impress in a Boxing Day Ashes test at his beloved home ground

    Delight for Australian cricketer Scott Boland to have another opportunity to impress in a Boxing Day Ashes test at his beloved home ground


    The Victorian native burst onto the international scene on debut in the MCG test during the 2021 series, famously taking six wickets for seven runs in England's second innings.

    The venue is expected to welcome nearly 100 thousand fans today - and Boland can't wait.



    First ball today is set for 12.30.
