No Former Indian Player Has Complained Of Grass On SCG Pitch, Says Gavaskar
"Oh, very much. Justin Langer, who's played in Australia, has said he's never seen so much grass on a pitch. But what you would have noticed is that no former Indian player has complained or whined about it. If a pitch in India is bereft of grass and looks like it's going to turn, so many former players from different parts of the world criticize our pitches. But former Indian players rarely complain because we understand the importance of adapting to overseas conditions," Gavaskar said on Star Sports when asked about the grass on the pitch.
The Day 1 saw India opting to bat first without regular captain Rohit Sharma and were bundled out for 185 after Scott Boland picked 4-31 while Mitchell Starc bagged three scalps to wrap the visiting side on a paltry total.
