Melbourne, Dec 7 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 7th Dec, 2019 ) :Play was suspended indefinitely Saturday during a domestic game due to a dangerous pitch at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, just weeks before it is due to host the traditional Boxing Day Test.
It said on its website that the move followed talks between the umpires and captains Peter Handscomb and Shaun Marsh.
One that caught Marcus Stoinis in the ribs proved the final straw.
The match is the last one at the MCG before the second Test between Australia and New Zealand on December 26, giving cricket officials little time to rectify the issue.
In recent times the pitch has been criticised for being lifeless.
