Ashes 2025-26: You Don't Want A Game Finishing In Less Than Two Days, Says Stokes On MCG Pitch
Melbourne Cricket Ground: England captain Ben Stokes said the wicket for the fourth Test of the Ashes series at Melbourne would likely attract greater criticism if it had been prepared somewhere else in the world, adding that one wouldn’t like to see a game finish in less than two days.
The 10mm of grass left on the pitch resulted in 36 wickets falling in six sessions at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), as England ended a 14-year wait for a Test match victory in Australia with a four-wicket win. England dismissed Australia for 132 in their second innings to set themselves a chase of 175 to win, which they completed after losing six wickets.
"When you go out there, and you're faced with conditions, you've got to crack on and deal with it. But, being brutally honest, that's not really what you want. A Boxing Day Test match, you don't want a game finishing in less than two days.
