The England and Wales cricket team lost the first two Ashes Tests against Australia and barring a very unlikely change of tactics are on course to lose all five Tests.
There is however yet more bad news for the England team. The Boxing Day Test is one of the great fixtures of the cricket year in Britain because it starts just before midnight on Christmas Day UK time.
The Sunday Times (7th December) reports that Nigel Farage plans to be in Melbourne to watch it. While it hardly features in his social media Farage is a cricket obsessive, having appeared on Test Match Special’s View From the Boundary.
The big issue for England fans will be, which side will Farage will be supporting? Given his track record of backing Putin and Trump support for England is far from guaranteed. Perhaps the England team will hope he does back Australia…
