MCG Test Ends in 2 Days: Cricket Australia Faces Staggering 60.6 Crore Loss!

• Cricket Australia (CA) lost £5m (Rs. 60.6 crore) after the fourth Ashes Test at MCG ended in just two days.
• Record attendances were seen on both days, but the third day, which was sold out, never happened.
• CA CEO Todd Greenberg stated "short Tests are bad for business" and expressed concern over bowler-friendly pitches.
• England secured a four-wicket victory; no batter from either side scored a fifty in the low-scoring match.
• CA may intervene in pitch preparation to prevent future short Tests, as the first Test also ended in two days.

Why It Matters: Cricket Australia incurred a massive financial loss due to the Ashes Test ending prematurely, prompting concerns over pitch conditions.
