Disgraceful, obviously the massive fines and loss of WTC points in Brisbane wasn't the kick up the backside they needed to help hurry them up.RB wrote:33 minutes late, and they're still an over short.

That would certainly be interesting. Last night it would have been 10 over of the Aussies just teeing off.Brodlach wrote:A real radical idea to increase the over rate is when time is complete the overs must still be bowled but the bowling team gets none of the wickets they take.

Aussies may bat all day today and try to get 500 on the board and bowl poms twice...whufc wrote:You would have to think the first session today will almost decide the test.
Australia will want to kick on, lift the scoring in preparation for a twilight declaration. This will provide England with an oppurtunity as statistically the first session of the day/night tests has been the hardest to bat. I think they said there had been 64 wickets at around 24 runs per wicket (obviously inflated from the India test last year).
If Australia have a good session and finish 3/300 there is no coming back for England. On the other hand this will provide England an oppurtunity if they can get an early wicket and expose Head, Green, Carey, Neser they could take 5/50 and have it pegged back to 7/270, we saw how hard it was for all batsmen to get a start on day 1.
The spanner in the works will be if we see another 1/42 session (3/260) This will make it hard for Australia to declare as early as they would like unless we can find a way to score real quick in the last session and half. Wouldn't be many times in test cricket that a team declares there first innings at no more than 400 when there has been no rain delays.

Having said that, I've said it before and I'll say it again, the onus is on the umpires to keep the game moving. Changing gloves every 3 overs, drinks every time they run a 2 or 3, towels to wipe down and the list goes on and on and on. Umpires need to tell them to get on with it and then they should get on with it.
Fox last night was talking about the slow over rate only to interview Labuschagne in a drinks break, Smith actually ended up telling Labuschagne to get moving.
