Headline: MCG Curator Reactions to Defeat

Article Body: Matthew Page, the head curator at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), expressed surprise and disappointment following England’s two-day victory over Australia in the Boxing Day Test. “We were confident about our pitch preparation,” Page said in a statement. “However, it seems that England was able to adapt to the conditions more effectively than we anticipated.” The MCG staff had taken great care to ensure that the wicket was conducive to batsmen, with a mix of grass and dirt. However, England’s top order batted aggressively, taking advantage of the relatively soft surface. “We will review our strategy for the next match,” Page stated. “We will learn from this experience and make necessary adjustments.”
