Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg expressed concern over the rapid conclusion of the Ashes Test in Melbourne, which finished in under two days. He stated that 'short Tests are bad for business,' citing potential financial losses and a desire for a better balance between bat and ball. The Melbourne pitch, heavily favoring bowlers, saw 20 wickets fall on the first day, contributing to the match's swift end. This follows a similar two-day finish in Perth, impacting Cricket Australia's revenue and fan experience.
