Grassy MCG Pitch Will Offer Seam Movement For The Quicks: Curator

By IANS News December 22, 2021 • 20:37 PM View: 1838

Matthew Page, the pitch curator of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) said there will be seam movement for the pacers at the third Ashes Test starting from Boxing Day (December 26). He added that his team will be leaving a lot of grass on the pitch, resulting in more seam movement.

"From four years ago, we've come a long way, we've been looking to improve the quality of the pitches. We're leaving a lot more grass on them. There's a lot more seam movement in the pitches as a result of the grass being left on. There will be seam movement up for the quick guys," Paige was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
