If curators produce poor pitches, then sack them: Chappell

ormer Australia captain Ian Chappell is absolutely livid about the 22-yard strip at Trent Bridge which was on offer and has urged the authorities to ‘sack curators’ who produce poor quality pitches.

‘That (Trent Bridge) wasn’t a good surface for players to showcase their talent. I hope we are not going to see more of this. If the curator produces more of bad pitches then sack him. If he produces good pitches and home sides keep losing - guess what, go and find better players,’ Chappell, who is not known for mincing words, said. ‘The good pitch also exposes the weaknesses of the players, which is good for the game’, he added.
