‘Free burgers! Free hot chips’: Two-day Test cricket is drab and damaging to the game
Spectators in Mackay were actually cheering any not out verdict from the umpires on Sunday, not through any lack of patriotism, but simply because they wanted to see more cricket.
Australia secured a historic victory over Bangladesh in the second Test of their series, winning by an innings and 51 runs in Mackay on Sunday. The match concluded in just two days, marking only the 28th such instance out of 2,632 Tests played globally. Mitchell Starc was the standout performer, claiming 10 wickets and contributing 51 runs, marking his fourth such feat in Test cricket. This achievement also propelled Starc to the 10th position in the all-time Test wicket-takers list.
