Here's why Sachin Tendulkar the 'God of Cricket' is angry with ICC
Former Indian skipper and legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar is not happy over the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) rating of Perth pitch as ‘average’. India and Australia played their second Test at the ground which Australia won by 146 runs.
Tendulkar took to twitter to express his disagreement, the 45-year-old said, “Pitches play a crucial role, especially in Test cricket. In order to revive Test cricket and generate excitement, we need to provide more pitches like the one at Perth, where the skills of batsmen and bowlers are truly TESTed. This pitch was by no means “Average”.
