The Ashes Daily 2025, 4th Test, Melbourne Day 3 wrap: The whole country is fixated on one thing: 22 yards of grass in the middle of the MCG, and how it came to influence an Ashes series. Head curator Matt Page had to turn out for a post-match press conference with the head of the MCC, Stuart Fox, such was the need for damage control. Was it really the pitch's fault? And either way, what does this mean for the future prospects of Test cricket? Adam and Geoff get together after a night off to chew through it all.
