Cricket in Australia never stops giving us moments you can’t take your eyes off. From the packed Boxing Day Test at the MCG to T20 fireworks in the BBL, the headlines keep changing — and so do the talking points. If you want quick, useful updates without the fluff, this tag page collects the latest news, match reports and practical tips for following the action.
One of the biggest stories on this tag is the Boxing Day Test incident in Melbourne. Indian captain Virat Kohli was involved in a heated on-field clash with Australian debutant Sam Konstas. The ICC reviewed the exchange and sanctioned Kohli — he accepted a 20% match-fee fine and a demerit point. That moment shows how high emotions run in Tests and how quickly a single event can shift a series’ mood.
We also keep an eye on global tournaments that affect Australia’s schedule and players. For example, the ICC Champions Trophy fixtures and players’ workloads matter when selectors plan tours and rest periods. Match form, injuries and international bans influence who turns up for Australia in future Tests and limited-overs games.
Want to catch a game live? Check local broadcasters, Cricket Australia’s official streams, or ICC broadcast partners for coverage. For Tests at the MCG, watch the big moments: new-ball spells, sessions that swing the match, and how debutants handle the pressure. In T20s and BBL matches, notice how teams use powerplays and which bowlers step up at the death — that decides a lot of outcomes.
If you follow player news, focus on three things: form (recent runs/wickets), fitness (injury updates or rest periods), and discipline (any ICC sanctions or code-of-conduct issues). These three elements often explain sudden changes to squads or surprising selections.
