Playing 4 quicks makes it tough for Faf

There really are no excuses, I remember the Windies used to get a bit sluggish but still pulled through without any spinners, 15 an hour, one every four minutes, that should be piss easy.

Even still, they now give an extra 30 minutes to get the overs in. That means the batsman are delaying the game for a full minute every three overs? I don't think so.
A few concussion tests and say 2-3 DRS reviews would be the bigger items delaying the game rather than batsmen changing gloves between overs.

Theres 2 solutions as far as im concerned.
1. Ban anyone else from entering the field of play for the 2 hours of each session. Apart from medical emergencies, needs to be umpire approved.
Or 2. Do away with the drinks break, who needs them when people are on and off the field all the time anyway

The Windies weren't playing against batsmen who needed new gloves every 5 overs, a drink in between, a towel to wipe their face every 10, perhaps a panadol if it was too hot, maybe a rub down from the physio if they had to run a quick one.
Umpires allowed too much leeway for batsman in the last 10 years or so and now they take the piss.

Trader wrote:Apparently the thought process is that concentration is more important for a batsman than a fielder, so by bowling more of your overs late in the day, you're more likely to pick up wickets than bowling the same overs earlier on. I wouldn't have thought it mattered that much, but it's a clear pattern from most sides.

A number of former Sri Lankan cricket internationals and administrators have recently been involved in corruption cases
Sri Lanka's sports minister said last month that the ICC has ranked the country's cricket administration "corrupt from top to bottom"
