First time ever by any visiting team in Pakistan. That needs savouring!

On the face of it, and man for man, I think the Aussies are the better team, probably. But the confidence in this England team is something to behold. So many times, a good England team, with unquestioned talent in it, has just wilted in the face of Aussie arrogance (ok, call it self-belief if you want). That will not happen under Stokes. Incidentally, I think it would be madness not to bring Bairstow back in, even if it involves sacrificing someone.
Should be one of the most interesting Ashes for years…
 
For me, my favourite part of Christmas day is about to start, the day is over, you're likely alone and maybe a little buzzed and the first ball at the G is about to be bowled.

Get yourself a cold plate, a long drink and dip in and out of the first session of the boxing day test

Same here. All happening in that Boxing Day test.

Good old Saffers go 56/1 to 67/5, put on a 112 run partnership, then collapse to 182 all out.

Ashes going to be fun.

Good read on Cricinfo.

The three best Tests I watched this year

Starring Dean Elgar, Virat Kohli, Jonny Bairstow and an England team playing a fierce and fun brand of the game

Mark Nicholas calls that Rawalpindi test last month England's greatest ever win and I'd agree.

And the view from the actual camera itself. I bet that would have hurt. Going at a fair rate when it hit him

Someone dropped a major bollock there. Apparently, the "spidercam" operator has been "stood down" for the remainder of the test. The rules in place stipulate that the camera can't come any lower than 3.5 metres from the ground during play. And can only go lower when players are being interviewed, and the camera is stationary.

The camera weighs about 8kg, apparently. If that hits you from behind, when you're not expecting it, it's going to knock you to the ground. And if it hits you on the head, it could be a very serious injury (Nortje was hit on the shoulder, according to reports, and was okay to resume).
