Boxing Day Test to pause to remember tsunami victims
Melbourne, Dec 25: The roar of a Boxing Day Test crowd will be momentarily hushed Friday in a mark of respect and to remember the 10th anniversary of the devastating 2004 tsunami. About 65,000 Australian fans are expected at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) as the Aussies attempt to seal the series against India. But a raucous Indian contingent will be barracking for an upset, reports heraldsun.co.au. India haven’t won a Test at the MCG since 1981. The odds are more even when it comes to the weather - there is a 50 percent chance of rain. Stadium security has been increased following the Sydney siege tragedy and there will be a stronger police presence in and around the ground, while anti-social behaviour and drunkenness will also be a focus.
