It's the grandest occassion on the Australian sporting calendar, but can you pick the very best Boxing Day moment?
Stumps at the Boxing Day Test: the daily poll
We've seen some sensational Boxing Day Test performances at the Melbourne Cricket Ground over the years, but which one is the very best?
Damien Fleming and the Stumps crew pose this perplexing question on day one of the 2015 Boxing Day Test, with plenty to ponder.
Which of these spectacular efforts is your favourite?
- Kim Hughes’ fighting century against in the mighty Windies in 1981: Hughes came to the wicket with Australia at 3/8 and was the only Aussie batsman to stand up to the awesome foursome of Holding, Roberts, Garner & Croft, scoring just over half the Aussie score of 198.
- On the same day, Dennis Lillee ripped through the Windies top order, taking three wickets in 35 minutes, including the great Viv Richards off the final ball of the day to leave the visitors 4/10 at stumps
- The breathtaking 195 from the great Virender Sehwag in 2003, the brilliant Indian opener belting the Aussies to all corners of the MCG, with 25 fours and five sixes off just 233 balls.
- Shane Warne's memorable Boxing Day moment in 2006 when he claimed his 700th Test wicket, and it was a beauty, with the in-form Andrew Strauss skittled by a perfect leg-break.
