MCC CEO Confident Of MCG Producing A Good Pitch For Boxing Day Test Between Australia, South Africa

By IANS News December 22, 2022 • 13:29 PM View: 1109

Stuart Fox, the CEO of the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) is confident that MCG curator Matt Page will produce a good pitch for the upcoming Boxing Day Test between Australia and South Africa, starting from December 26.

After 34 wickets fell in six sessions as Australia won by six wickets on an overly seaming pitch at the Gabba, the pitch was given a rating of 'below average'. The fallout over the pitch at the Gabba now means the spotlight is firmly on the MCG to dish out an even contest for the Boxing Day Test.
