The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) received an 'unsatisfactory' rating from the International Cricket Council (ICC) after the recent Ashes Test. The ICC cited the pitch's excessive tilt in favor of bowlers, leading to a match that concluded in just two days with a high number of wickets falling and no batter reaching a half-century. This rating results in one demerit point for the venue, with six points potentially leading to a 12-month ban.
