Pink Ball Test: Motera Pitch Comes Under Scrutiny Again As Spinners Make Hay

By IANS News February 25, 2021 • 20:12 PM View: 2243

The pitch for the third Test here at the colossal and grand Motera stadium looked more like a construction site with puffs of dust rising, and the surface crumbling at both batting ends, even though the five-day pink ball Test was barely into its second day.

The ground-staff was summoned onto the pitch in only the fifth over of the second day's play and again later to sweep the dust created around the bowlers' footholds.
