England secures a historic victory in the Boxing Day Test, winning by four wickets on day two. The match saw a record 36 wickets fall in just six sessions, marking Englands first Test win in Australia since 2011. The pitch, with 10mm of grass, was criticized for being too green, leading to a loss of revenue for Cricket Australia. The Melbourne Cricket Club vows to learn from the experience and improve pitch preparation for future high-stakes Tests.
