Australia Tour of India 2023 ICC Ranked Indoor Pitch Poor Australia vs India Test Series

Australia Tour of India 2023 – International Cricket Council (ICC) reported Indoor Pitch was “poor” On Friday, 3rd March 2023. This pitch is the playing surface for the test series between Australia and India.

India appears as a host country for this test match series against Australia. ICC gave the Indoor Pitch a poor rating on the Opening day of the test match series between Australia and India.

On the morning of the test match series opening day, the pitch was rated as poor and came under the scanner with extreme conditions. India lost seven wickets and hardly scored 109 runs in the first session of the test match series.

In comparison, Australia knocked close to seventy-seven overs in their first innings. Things moved quickly, with Team India cracking 163 runs on the second trip.

As a result, team Australia required only seventy-six on the third morning to finish the job, with the game certifying less than 200 overs. In the first innings, Australian spin bowlers go for nine Indian wickets. The famous Australian spin bowlers Nathan Lyon set an easy target of eight wickets.

The match referee Charis Broad reported the pitch Conditions as poor and handed three demerit points to the pitch under the ICC outfield and pitch monitoring process.

The match referee Chairs Broad said:” The very dry pitch didn’t give a balance between ball and bat. And the dry pitch was supporting the spin bowlers on the field. The 5th ball broke the pitch surface; afterward, it continuously broke it, giving it no movement. The ball was bouncing unevenly and excessively on the pitch throughout the match.

According to ICC, if BCCI wants to appeal the authority, they can appeal within two weeks. It is quite surprising that both skippers have no warning concern over the surface after the game.

After the match, Rohit Sharma, Captain of team India, said:” Honestly, the poorly rated pitch talk is just too much; whenever we play on the Indian soil, you always talk about pitch Conditions.

Whether pitch Conditions are good or bad but you should not focus on the pitch Conditions too much. Why are you not asking for the bowling conditions?

You should talk about Nathan Lyon, with what skills he bowled in the game and got wickets. You should focus on this point how well Australian bowler Nathan Lyon bowled in the game”.

Indian Skipper said that if you want to ask him about match Conditions, and the bowling power of team Australia, he will give you all the briefing but avoid the topic of dry pitch conditions. Whenever team India plays a match in India, you only focus on pitch conditions, but every time talking about pitch is not important”.

Steve Smith, Australian Skipper, also said that team Australia accepted the challenge to play on such tough pitch conditions. He said the situation becomes boring when you continuously play a match for five days with no suspense. But this match moves to the final decision rapidly.

Steve Smith, Australian Skipper, expressed his thoughts and said that it is a pleasure to play with team India in their native land. Although the pitch Conditions were extreme from the 1st ball of the match, I enjoyed the match on this pitch as this is potentially unbelievable to manage runs for you on such a pitch. Steve Smith said.

ICC rated the pitch as” poor” and handed three demerit points to this pitch. These demerit points will remain active for at least five years. During this period, if the pitch gets five or more five demerit points, ICC will suspend the pitch from hosting any International Cricket game for one year.

If a pitch receives ten or more demerit points, ICC suspends the pitch from hosting any International Cricket game for 24 months.
