Former England captain rips into MCG pitch after Boxing Day carnage
Former England captain Alastair Cook slammed the MCG pitch after a chaotic opening day saw all 20 wickets fall. He deemed it "not a great Test wicket," heavily favouring bowlers and making strokeplay a high-risk exercise. Despite acknowledging batting improvements needed, Cook felt conditions were "unfair," with even Australia's Scott Boland proving unplayable at times.
