Ban Perth WACA Ground as a Test Venue
The cracks on the 4th day of the 3rd Ashes Test on the pitch of the Perth WACA cricket ground are so wide that it is becoming almost impossible, for the batsmen to play the ball, which is pitched over the cracks.
As such, the umpires acting under the ICC approved playing conditions, should abandon this match on the grounds of pitch being dangerous and unplayable damaged due the extremely wide cracks.
Moreover, in the larger interest of the glorious game of cricket, the ICC should ban this venue for Test matches.
However, ODI and international T20 matches, may be allowed to be played as usual; because WACA ground pitch starts developing bigger cracks from the 2nd day, which dramatically, widen during the 3rd, 4th and the 5the day.
May be that is the reason the Indian team will not be playing at WACA ground during their next tour.
