Andrew Ramsey delays his return from the MCG to his backpackers' hostel to join Louis Cameron after an extraordinary Boxing Day Test that had everything. Don Bradman thought he saw some big crowds. Pfffft, this Test has him covered. The biggest Test crowd ever? Probably. Is Bumrah better than Warnie? Maybe. Is he a shark? Hell yes. Melbourne real estate (and Rishabh Pant's inability to find it), sausages (and Yashasvi Jaiswal's ability to find those), snicko, Napoleonic Wars - all that's in here
