The biggest news for Australia is the debut of young sensation Sam Konstas to open the batting. Huge challenge for him, especially if he's called upon immediately. Although that would give him less time to get nervous, I suppose. He seems pretty confident, but walking out in front of 90,000 would have to challenge any teenage bravado.
Scott Boland is coming back for Australia replacing the injured Josh Hazlewood. Not sure what India will do yet, they always play their cards close and always seem to make a change somewhere along the line. Local hero fast bowler Scott Boland has a key role to play in Australia's attack for the Boxing Day Test.
Now that I think about it, I've never thought to check what Yule means. Yuletide could be the guy from The King and I doing an album of Vance Joy covers. Regardless, what with all of those logs and whatnot, I'm going to assume that most people had a festive time.
Whatever the case, it is Boxing Day in Melbourne, and that means one thing. We are about to send 13 players and two umpires into the middle of the MCG to suffer in ridiculous heat all day.
