The 5 deadliest cricket pitches of all time

#4 Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai (2006)

Brabourne stadium in Mumbai hosted few matches of 2006 Champions trophy

Mumbai is famous for conducting high profile cricket matches in the very famous Wankhede stadium. However, the Brabourne Stadium is also one of the main stadiums located in Mumbai where a few matches have taken place. It held few matches of the Champions Trophy which was held in the year 2006.

Along with the finals, various league stage matches were also played on this ground. But just after 2 league stage matches, the cracks on the pitch became wide and started growing. The cracks became so wide that it nearly seemed impossible for the second team to bat on that track.

However, due to the alertness of pitch curator, the matches were saved as Andy Atkinson, who was the pitch curator at that time, immediately found the solution of it. He sprayed the Polyvinyl Acetate which is a preventive ingredient to keep the cracks joint. Due to this technique, the next match of that Champions trophy was played here without any danger.
