A Hole in the Pitch: The Rare Incidents That Stopped Cricket Matches in Their Tracks
Recently an Adelaide Strikers and Hobart Hurricanes WBBL match at Karen Rolton Oval in Adelaide ended in a silly mess. During the break, a warm up ball rolled onto the pitch, got stuck under the roller and damaged the wicket. Result: Match called off, points shared and with that the Strikers were out of the playoffs (finals) race.
The ball settled into the wicket and left a hole when it was removed from the surface, and this prompted the umpires to abandon the match.
