ICC’s Huge ‘Unsatisfactory’ Verdict For Venue Where India Thrashed Bangladesh, NZ Series Venues Ratings Are…

File photo of the Indian cricket team© AFP The ICC has rated Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium pitch, used for India’s Test match against Bangladesh, as “very good” with other four home centres used during the season being deemed “satisfactory”. In fact, all the three Test venues used against New Zealand — Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy, Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune’s Gahunje and Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai — just about managed “satisfactory” ratings from the ICC match referee. However, Kanpur’s Green Park stadium’s outfield has been rated “unsatisfactory” by the ICC match referee Jeff Crowe. The government-owned stadium’s poor drainage system led to only two full days of play against Bangladesh and despite the pitch being rated “satisfactory”, the outfield didn’t escape the wrath of the former Kiwi international. The high-scoring tracks at Gwalior, Delhi and Hyderabad used for Bangladesh T20Is were rated “very good”, as they conformed to the requirements of the shortest format. However, the Indian team management, the BCCI and local curators wouldn’t be too amused to know that former Australia opener …

In the 3rd T20I against Bangladesh, Samson showed his true colours as he slammed a century while opening the batting, sending a bold message of the true potential he holds. However, after the first two matches of the series, Samson couldn’t even make eye contact with head coach Gautam Gambhir. Samson registered scores of 29 and 10 in the first two T20Is against Bangladesh, leaving many disappointed about the squandered opportunities. However, the wicket-keeper batter truly made his selection count in the third. In an interview, however, Samson revealed that he was hesitant to even make eye contact with Gambhir after failing to score big runs in the first two matches. “I agree that the relationship between a coach and a player is very important.
