Former England opener Geoffrey Boycott has criticized the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) pitch, calling for the curator to be held accountable. The pitch's performance during the 'Boxing Day' Test saw 20 wickets fall on the first day and 36 wickets across six sessions, with no batter from either Australia or England scoring a fifty. Boycott believes the pitch failed to meet the standards required for a five-day game.
