Ten millimetres of grass left on the pitch. Over 94,000 fans packed the stadium, the largest crowd ever to watch a game of cricket at the MCG. Twenty wickets fell, one every 22.9 balls. Nine dismissals came from edges, eleven batters failed to reach double figures, and all of it played out inside just 76.1 overs, without a single over of spin bowled. The last time 20 or more wickets fell in a single day in Melbourne was about 124 years back, in the Ashes of 1901/02. That is the story in numbers from Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test at the mighty MCG. On that note, hello and a very warm welcome to Day 2 of this fourth Ashes Test.
