Watching that root wicket again absolute shocker by Marnus was as wide and loose as you get of a delivery
So far, 91 overs have been lost in this test. Obviously we lost a lot today to the weather but over 30 we're lost in the 1st 3 days.
So in effect, with the weather being poor tomorrow, we'll be lucky to get 3 and a half days play in.
Yes the weather is mainly to blame but slow over rates don't help either. You can't blame Oz for slowing things down but we should have done more.
On a more general point over rates are a disgrace and its about time the ICC took the issue seriously.

In my opinion fines, docking wtc points will
Never be enough as well as match bans. I think there should be a rule to just bowl all the overs and extend the time more in the last session till it’s done. I mean most countries have good enough light to bowl all the way till 7.30-8pm anyway. If teams can’t bowl the overs in time then punish them and give them more time out there to bowl them

this works in theory, but then if the team out there has only just gone to field then you’re punishing them for their opponent’s failure.

yeah that’s true in that case. I just don’t think anything works right now. What would you suggest? Because thing with over rates I don’t think a lot of the time teams are trying to waste time. A lot of things go to play like if you bowl seamers for 95% of the day or if a teams smashing youfor a high run rate there’s not much you can do.

Honestly I don’t know. Things like penalty runs - but we have to be careful as it’s not 100% in the fielding side’s control is it

thing I don’t like with penalty runs though it’s kind of like yeah these guys haven’t really earnt it. That’s the thing it’s hard to police it.just say you’re like 3 overs behind the end the day how many runs would you even add. I think most captains just say they concede 10 runs for that they aren’t giving a toss about it as well that’s just runs the other team could of made anyway if you bowled enough overs

Yeah fines are pointless and no deterrent
There's no solution to slow over rates that is going to be perfect, but the current situation can't be allowed to continue.
Yesterday was typical. I think we were about 12 overs short. When play finished conditions were fine yet off go the players.
80 overs per day, even with the extra half hour has become the norm, certainly in England.
My concern is what will be the norm in 5 or 10 years time. Will it be 75 overs, or even less.
Unless something is done, that's were
we are heading.

Should Brook have taken catch to dismiss Marsh

I think a big problem also is teams have to many chats to their bowlers like the captain will go to his bowler to have a chat every few deliveries. Or another bowler will talk to the guy who’s bowling the current over. Think they need to reduce that. You have like 30-40 chats a day that’s already like 4-5 overs that could of been bowled.
Umpires and ICC need to be more strict on it

We’ll chase that down in 20 overs

lol that was hardly a chance. Those type of chances your just predicting where it might go and have like a 10% chance to catch it
