Why is it Called Boxing Day?

The name is a reference to holiday gifts. A ‘Christmas Box’ in Britain is a name for a Christmas present. Boxing Day was traditionally a day off for servants and the day when they received a ‘Christmas Box’ from the master. The servants would also go home on Boxing Day to give ‘Christmas Boxes’ to their families.

feel ash yadav and pandya or ash pandya and jadeja give good depth in batting and bowling 

 

if they dont play 5 bowlers and shorten the tail , we have low chances of winning

 

keep vihari - he is solid

 

no rohit or rahul . ship them to ipl

vijay - retire once shaw is fit again

kumar - we win when he plays . feel him and jadu are our good luck charms. bewda and dictator dont have faith in them but they always perform

Yeah we can't play all of Ishant/Shami/Bumrah in Melbourne - that's like a run or duck shared by all 3, worst tail end batting I've seen in ages. I'd get as many A/R in the team as possible, open with PP/Ashwin/Vihari & stack the lower order with players who can stick around (Kumar) or hit out (Jadeja) fairly consistently. I'd drop Ishant for the next 2 tests, bring in 2 spinners unless it's a green deck at The G :bow:
