Cardiff, Aug 3: The centre wicket of the Sophia Gardens here, which was heavily criticised for being too batsman-friendly during the first Ashes cricket Test less than three weeks ago, was considered so dangerous and unpredictable that an English county match was abandoned.
The 50-over fixture on Sunday between Glamorgan and Hampshire was called off in the early stages of the second innings after both umpires deemed the pitch unplayable. The decision had the full support from the two captains after both of Hampshire's openers were struck on the helmet by deliveries that reared up off a length, reports cricket.com.au.
