00:00Well, the last time this many wickets, 20, fell on day one of a Melbourne Test in the Ashes was 1902.
00:09Don Bradman, six years before he was born, Stuart Clarke, what do you put it down to?
00:14Well, it was a great day as cricket. The wicket had a lot of life in it.
00:17And I thought both teams actually bowled really well.
00:19So they got the ball in the right spot and wickets fell around it.
00:22England's batting, all out for 110 inside 30 overs. Was it bad batting, good bowling?
00:28Well, I think it was probably a bit of both. I think they didn't really hit the ball well
00:32and then they were caught between this aggressive and defensive again.
00:35Unfortunately, they just kept getting out.
00:37Josh Tung, the pick of the English bowlers, five wickets for him. How did he bowl?
00:40Well, he actually was the best of the bowlers. He bowled as well as Scott Boland on the MCG Bowls.
00:44He bowled full. He got the ball to seam around a bit.
00:46And when he did, the Australians found ways to miss them or nick them.
00:49And Scott Boland, he never thought he'd be opening the batting for Australia on Boxing Day,
00:53but he was as a night watchman.
00:54Amazing scenes. Biggest cheer of the day when Scott Boland walked out there and he survived.
00:59It was an incredible first day of the Boxing Day test at the MCG.
01:03at the MCG.
