And because we bowled them out in under 80 overs it doesn’t matter how many overs we bowl in the day as we don’t get punished at all
Thats absolute bulls5it, we should be fined our entire match payments, docked 2 WTC points and Captain Climate should get 2 matches.
What a joke, we were responsible for the slow over rate, should be made to bat the full 9 overs that were left.
Until the ICC fixes this Test cricket will continue to die, it needs drastic change.
4 day tests, every Test starts on a Friday except obviously Boxing Day. 100 or 110 over days, play until theyre bowled. The players will adjust with more entertaining cricket to get results and batsman arent as equipped to play a 5 day Test as they used to be.
Would make programming so much easier, a Test every week to fit into an ever increasing tighter schedule.
