Ricky Ponting roasts England over Ashes pitch preparation after Gautam Gambhir’s exchange with Oval curator ...Middle East

Gautam Gambhir was involved in a heated exchange with Oval groundsman Lee Fortis before the fifth Test. England coach Brendon McCullum also had a discussion with Curtis. Notably, the Oval curator prepared a traditional English surface, following the batting-friendly wickets used in the earlier matches.

“It’ll be interesting to see which way we prepare our tracks. “I don’t think the Aussies will be saying anything to the groundsmen. Certainly through my time I didn’t speak to the groundsman, and even my coaches didn’t speak to him,” Ponting told The Times.
