Sunil Gavaskar, Irfan Pathan hit out at on-field umpires after Australian batters repeatedly found running on MCG pitch

Live Mint  

Former India cricketers Sunil Gavaskar and Irfan Pathan criticised the role of on-field umpires on Day 1 of the fourth Test between India and Australia in Melbourne after the likes of Sam Konstas and Marnus Labuschagne were found running on the pitch. If you would’ve watched Sam Konstas, he was running on the pitch and nobody warned him," the legendary cricketer said. Usually the batters run on the white strip, the pitch might get damaged if run on the protected area, thus in turn helping the bowler. According to the MCC law, the protected area is “that area of the pitch contained within a rectangle bounded at each end by imaginary lines parallel to the popping creases and 5 ft/1.52 m in front of each, and on the sides by imaginary lines, one each side of the imaginary line joining the centres of the two middle stumps, each parallel to it and 1 ft/30.48 cm from it."
