Thanks for the link - I had a look at the video footage. It'd be pretty entertaining watching Cummins bowl on that with a new ball.

Fears for Boxing Day: Unsafe MCG pitch puts scrutiny on ground staff

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket ... 53ht9.html

"Already under pressure to deliver a more sporting deck for the sport's showpiece event, curator Matt Page was left embarrassed on Saturday when play on day one of the Sheffield Shield clash between Victoria and Western Australia was abandoned after lunch because of safety fears.
...

The issue was too much moisture which led to divots in the drop-in wicket, creating uneven bounce and concerns for the batsmen when the divots hardened under a baking sun.
...

The flat strip used in the drawn 2017 Ashes Test was rated "poor" by the International Cricket Council, and last year was rated "average" although India did secure a Test victory.

Perth's new $1.6 stadium, run by former CA executive Mike McKenna, is keen to poach the Boxing Day Test or Sydney's New Year's Test. While it's unlikely any raid would succeed, the sporting landscape is changing.

The MCG has in recent seasons been regarded as a docile "road" that did not break up and help bowlers, making this latest drama even more bewildering.
...

Under cricket's by-laws, play could he shifted to another venue."
