The last time that we didn't play on Boxing Day, back in 2010, was also arguably our greatest ever day's cricket in Australia. Bowled the convicts out for 96, and were then 157/0 at the close. Basically retained the Ashes that day. Remember staying up till 5am on Christmas night watching.....then crawling out of bed, throwing some clothes on and being just ready to leave home when the ref called the Rushden game off because of a tiny icy patch in front of the South Stand.
Why do I get the feeling that England are not going to reproduce that score this weekend?
