Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has criticized the ICC's pitch rating system, citing perceived double standards. He noted that the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) pitch, which saw a Test match conclude in under two days with 36 wickets falling, might be rated 'good.' Gavaskar contrasted this with the Perth pitch, also used for a short Test, which was rated 'very good.' He suggested the change in match referee might influence the rating, questioning the consistency of ICC evaluations.
