Boxing Day Cricket

December 26th is Boxing Day in Australia (and all other commonwealth countries I believe), a national holiday. Boxing Day cricket is a great tradition in Melbourne at the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground). This year it was the Ashes test match. Every two years England and Australia play and the winner gets to keep some ancient ashes, I'm not sure of the whole story. This was day 1 of 5 (we only went to day 1), and the cricket lasts all day. They do take breaks for lunch and tea (hee, hee).
