BGT: 'It All Sort Of Worked Out On That One Day', Boland Recalls His Dream MCG Debut
The Sydney Morning Herald: On the verge of playing the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Australia seamer Scott Boland recalled the six-wicket haul he took on debut at the iconic venue, saying it was a day where everything worked out to perfection.
In the 2021 Boxing Day Test, Boland picked a whirlwind 6-7 as Australia blew away England by an innings and 14 runs to win the match and retain the Ashes. "It’s funny. All I wanted to do from when I was growing up was play Test cricket, and then I was walking off at lunch, and I was like, ‘Geez, I’m glad it’s done’.
"I thought it was going to be a bit of a slog that day. I still can’t believe it, really. I only bowled 24 balls or something like that. I guess it was all those years I’d put in playing for Victoria on wickets out there that weren’t in my favour as much. It all sort of worked out on that one day," said Boland to The Sydney Morning Herald on Wednesday.
