The International Cricket Council has changed the rating of the pitch used for the third Test between India and Australia from 'poor' to 'below average' after an appeal by the BCCI, world cricket's most powerful body.
The pitch for the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar series was initially rated as 'poor' by match referee Chris Broad following and received three demerit points. The Test, which Australia won, finished before lunch on the third day.
