Gavaskar Slams ICC's 'Double Standards' Over MCG Pitch Rating

• Sunil Gavaskar criticized the ICC for 'double standards' regarding pitch ratings, specifically for the MCG Ashes Test.
• The 4th Ashes Test at MCG finished in less than two days, with 36 wickets falling in 142 overs.
• Gavaskar sarcastically noted that despite the quick finish, the MCG pitch might be rated 'good,' unlike the Perth pitch which was rated 'very good' after a similar short Test.
• He contrasted the treatment of Australian pitches with Indian ones, where curators are often deemed 'horrible groundsmen' by ICC match referees.
• Captains Steve Smith and Ben Stokes, along with analysts, also criticized the bowler-friendly nature of the MCG pitch.

Why It Matters: Gavaskar questions ICC's inconsistent pitch rating system, highlighting bias against Indian curators.
