Ashes 2023

All these complicated fix it measures are just that. Complicated.

Just drop the over rate to 85 and be done with it.

[RB]

Why not drop the over rate further? 60 overs in a day's play? Surely they can manage that?

8 ball overs

Pat Cummins played the last test with a broken wrist.

Begs the question why???!

Strange decision to allow him to play by coaches and Cummins himself.

Didn’t it happen during the last test?

Yes, he injured it while fielding in England's first innings. He performed pretty well considering that.

From the articles I've read about it it's a suspected fractured wrist and Cummins hadn't had it assessed as of early last week.
Perhaps it's not as bad as you assume Whufc and didn't hamper him too much at the time?

Pat Cummins was revealed to have a fractured wrist that will keep him sidelined for six weeks but will join the ODI squad in South Africa in preparation for a return to playing in India, where Australia have a three-game series in late September ahead of the World Cup.

Cummins – Australia's ODI captain – has "an undisplaced fracture of his left radius which requires six weeks rehabilitation," said Australia's selection chair George Bailey.

"We view a period of enforced rest for Pat as a positive ahead of this important World Cup campaign.

"There are still a number of games he could play before the World Cup which is more than enough for him to have a strong preparation."
