Winter Rant

🏏 🙈 🇦🇺 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Can the Australian curators put out a cricketing pitch that does not result in a two-day test match? Can we take a test match’s second innings into the tea session of Day 4? I did not realize that the Boxing Day Test in Australia was supposed to be about boxing 🥊 the batsman into tears. Bad puns aside, Australia needs to get its act together in preparing pitches for international cricket. Or is this a ploy to make Test Cricket as exciting as T20 cricket? Should we get the cheerleaders and fireworks out?

Also, can the English batsmen practice batting a tad bit between their drinking binges and scenic hikes. These guys could not hold the line for 30 full overs. I feel terrible for cricket lovers tuning in, and worse for folks buying very expensive tickets for Boxing Day tickets. I imagine they are tuning in to watch some runs being scored. Yeesh.
