MELBOURNE, Dec 28 (Reuters) - The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) ‌curator who prepared the widely criticised pitch for the fourth Ashes test said he was in a "state of ‌shock" as wickets tumbled in the two-day match.

England completed a four-wicket victory after tea on Saturday, triggering ‌a round of condemnation of the pitch for being too much in favour of the bowlers.
