Slack.com slash THQ. This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I'm John Batcher

with my colleague Jeremy Zachis on Christmas. We've wished each other Merry Christmas. We've

made certain that we're going to check under the tree here in America for snakes because,

you know, cats are smart everywhere. And if one cat in Queensland thinks that a snake

is a worthy gift, maybe a cat somewhere else could. However, this is boxing day within

24 hours for Australian. Little more for the United Kingdom. And boxing day is a, I learned

from Jeremy, a great event, a cricket match, a five-day test, I believe. Who's it again?

Who's the opponent, Jeremy? Yeah, this is going to be a great test, John. It's actually

Australia versus South Africa again. And it's basically the part two to the five-day series

against South Africa that we saw only about two weeks ago here in Australia. And what makes

this so special is that on boxing day, the boxing day test is really revered as a cultural

icon here in Australia because boxing days when everybody in Australia basically has a

public holiday, except for those few unfortunately who do have to work in critical jobs. And

people can either go and attend the boxing day test in person or they can watch it on television

because the boxing day test is always, always carried live on our television networks here.

So in this instance, it's basically going to be, I guess, could say a bit of a grudge

match from the earlier tests between South Africa and Australia where all gobs were off.
