How's everyone feeling about the two Test matches starting on Boxing Day - my favourite stage of the cricketing year?
I'm loving the lay of the draw at around 3 in Centurion. Yes, there could be a thunderstorm or two, but that is more than offset by the fact that all the last 11 Test matches have produced positive results.
South Africa look big at 3.6 to me. India have never won a series there, and the Proteas have only been beaten once at Centurion in the past 20 years.
As for Melbourne, it's hard to see England getting the win they need to have any chance of regaining the Ashes. Looks like Crawley and Bairstow will come into the team, but does anyone seriously think this will cause even a moment's concern for returning Aussie skipper Pat Cummins?
No, I certainly won't be piling on England at 6.4!
But I do feel Australia are a shade short at 1.49, because the MCG has produced some featherbed wickets in recent years. England had the better of a draw here last time out, although it would take a huge stretch of the imagination to envisage any of our current top order scoring the 244 not out that Sir Alistair Cook amassed on that occasion.
The draw is currently 5.7 and I would not be surprised to see that shorten quite quickly, especially if the home side bats first and avoids losing early wickets.
But I'll want to see a few overs, just in case there is anything in the pitch for the seamers, before moving in for the kill.
Two exciting matches in prospect here.

Backed Melbourne at 17 (amazing!) greened up at 9 five mins later !
Figured that even with losing a wicket in 1st over, they still had Finch and Maddinson in (2 international level players) plus the wicket must be good if Scorchers had posted 200+. - and this was just the first over of their reply - mad odds !
-
18th over first time Renegades have fallen behind the worm ! Amazing.
Yet they were at 150. !!!!!!!! -
Absolutely perfect trading game.

@stuart-wallace gutted .. legend.. remember way back when .. he was commentating on a test at Headingley when England were playing Pakistan and it was controversial and very heated.. I'm mis quoting but something along the lines of "there's shouting and screaming, people running on the pitch, aggro in the crowd and in the middle .. this is no place for me and Aggers its Kate Adie territory this is .." brilliant
