Curator says he was in a ‘state of shock’ watching match unfold
‘We’re very, very disappointed that it’s only gone two days’
The MCG’s head curator has conceded staff went “too far” in preparing a pitch that favoured the bowlers too heavily in the Boxing Day Test, saying he was in a “state of shock” while watching the match unfold.
But the stadium’s chief executive is standing by the under-fire curator after the Test match between Australia and England finished within two days.
Cricket Australia is bracing for a heavy financial loss from the match, only a month after the Ashes opener in Perth also ended with three days to spare.
