26th December 2006 :: Boxing Day

I came to know about boxing day only after I went to Australia. I still don't know what exactly it is but what I do know is that the Australians always play a cricket text starting this day and this year is no exception. What makes the Boxing Day test all that more important is the retirement of Shane Warne and Glen McGrath and Warne's chance to pick up the 700th wicket. Personally I feel it is a little harsh to make them play right after Christmas, what do you think?
