Sunil Gavaskar criticizes pitch preparation after Australia-Bangladesh Test

Sunil Gavaskar expresses disbelief over the pitch conditions used in the recent Test at Mackay, where Australia faced Bangladesh. The match concluded in just 750 balls, marking one of the shortest Tests in history. Gavaskar argues that the pitch was intentionally designed following Australia's earlier defeat to Bangladesh in Darwin. He emphasizes that the response to surfaces varies depending on location, suggesting a bias in pitch assessments. Australia managed 210 runs, while Bangladesh scored 64 and 95 respectively.
