IND vs AUS Boxing Day Test: Bumrah & Co. To Shine At MCG? Pitch Curator Teases Pace-Friendly Conditions In Melbourne

ABP News  

Melbourne: Matt Page, the curator of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, said the drop-in pitch for the Boxing Day Test, starting on Thursday, will aid all fast bowlers, including India’s fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. It’s stock standard procedure for us, three days out.” With day one of the match being a total sell out, the temperature in Melbourne is also expected to hit 40 degrees. We sat down as an organisation and said we want to create more exciting contests, more exciting Test matches, so we leave more grass on it now.” “That brings the bowlers into it a bit more, but they are still good for batting, once the new ball goes off. So we experimented with our grass levels, compaction, and moisture, which took about three years to fine-tune.” “Over the last two or three years, we’ve been consistent in what we’ve rolled out, leaving a bit more grass on the pitches than we used to.
