Australia has some of the most beautiful and modern cricket grounds in the world. But the ground reality of these cricket pitches, which look beautiful from a distance, is something else. The Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney, Australia is one of cricket's historic venues, but the poor outfield of this historic ground exposes Cricket Australia. A Pakistani player narrowly escaped injury while playing here, with a video going viral on social media.
The Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney is one of the oldest grounds in Test history. This historic site opened in 1854 and has a seating capacity of 48,000 people. These days, the final match of the three-match Test series between Australia and Pakistan is being played at this ground, which was seen showing a dilapidated outfield of the ground.
The video of the bad outfield went viral on social media. It shows young Pakistani player Sam Ayub running towards the field after the ball and falling as soon as it got close. However, due to the poor outfield, Sam was unable to dive properly as the bottom of the field was uprooted from his feet and he became stuck there.
Ayyub could have been seriously injured, but fortunately he did not suffer any injuries. After his feet got stuck in the mud on the pitch, Sam Ayyub got up again and threw the ball. Then the video was also shown in slow motion in which it was seen that the Pakistani fielder's knee got stuck in the outfield, causing soil there came out.
A bad moment in the SCG outfield!
