'Unsatisfactory' verdict! ICC penalises Lord's and Pakistan's Gaddafi Stadium pitches

Cricket's governing body has deemed pitches at Lord's and Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium "unsatisfactory," awarding one demerit point to each. Lord's offered excessive seam movement and low bounce, while Lahore's surface proved too slow and low for an ODI. Both cricket boards have 14 days to appeal these sanctions.
