Someone has introduced a "2006 events" section, which is fine, but begs the inclusion of notable events for all of the other BD tests, such as Warne's Hat Trick of 94, etc. I'll make a note to get started on it, but feel free to dive in. Manning 01:27, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

It certainly wasn't when the first one described in this article happened, in 1950, nor in 1952. There was another very strong "tradition" about scheduling matches (Test and Sheffield Shield) in place until at least the 1960s. To list those earlier matches as "Boxing Day Tests", when nobody called them that at the time, seems a bit odd. Since it's the name of the article, I would like to see some etymology of The Boxing Day Test. HiLo48 ( talk) 23:58, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

The lead tells me the article is about "a cricket Test match held in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia involving the Australian cricket team and an opposing national team...", yet it has a section called "Other Boxing Day Tests" about matches that don't fit that definition. That makes no sense. I plan to remove it unless someone can convince me not to. HiLo48 ( talk) 23:34, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
Now that the new article Boxing Day Test (South Africa) has been created (many thanks to @ Gheus for their hard work), should it be appropriate to rename this article to something like "Boxing Day Test (Australia)"?
Secondarily, there is the question of what to do with mentions of Tests in other countries (such as the more irregular New Zealand Boxing Day Tests) -- are these also deserving of their own pages? My first instinct was to keep this page as general as possible, but if we distinguish by country (which I now see as basically sensible) it leaves rather little room for a more general discussion.
