Wet pitches at ANZ Stadium did not let India do their much needed batting practice.
Having been humiliated with 4-0 in the Test series against Australia, India wanted to come back with full force in the first Twenty20 against the same opposition, but wet pitches didn’t let them do any practice.
Duncan Fletcher, the Indian coach has asked to switch the practice session location to the Sydney Cricket Ground for Tuesday as conditions at ANZ Stadium are unlikely to improve soon.
"There was a bit of a concern with the practice pitches on Monday," admitted ANZ Stadium curator Les Burdett. "The centre pitch dried out beautifully, but the ones in the pocket don't get as much sun or air flow and hold a bit more water.
"There were some concerns from the Indians. I spoke with Duncan Fletcher. He understood the predicament, but obviously he was disappointed and rightfully so.”
