Steve Smith bats for Boxing Day Test at Melbourne Cricket Ground

By Saurabh Sharma December 09, 2019 • 23:46 PM View: 1239

Perth, Dec 9: Australia batsman Steve Smith believes the Boxing Day Test against New Zealand starting December 26 will be played on a safe pitch at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), saying the historic ground should not lose a great game of Test cricket.

Concerns were raised over the MCG pitch after a Sheffield Shield match between Victoria and Western Australia was called-off on Sunday as the surface turned out to be dangerous to bat with many Western Australia batsmen sustaining blows on their bodies.
