But now going and upholding the woefully backwards, inadequate English Test match scheduling norms and practices is just a bridge too far. Get the **** out of here with that bullshit, no one's buying it.

Yeah I'm sure Test Cricket scheduling norms in India and Pakistan are the apex of Test Cricket arrangement

Teams are given 3.5 hours to bowl 50 overs in ODI's (they generally go 15 mins over). They're really not going any faster there than in Tests.

The IPL is the worst of the lot for over rates.

Maybe my maths is off, but wouldn't 90 in 7 be even slower than that? I'm just not seeing why we can't make it, barring weather.

Well, I'm currently watching and complaining about the lazy sods in England (while procrastinating from starting my own shift).

The lazy sods of the subcontinent will get their turn in due course.

You can add more time to the day sure, but it's not going to make them go quicker. If anything I bet they'll slow down further.

Yeah, the in game penalties and fielding restrictions are the key. Extended hours should only be if a team is slow and they don't make the overs even AFTER taking all the punishments during the day.

They already have an extra 30 minutes iirc. Extending that to 60mins or even 90mins is just plastering over the real problem.

England had no issues with the overrate today bowling all seam, so it clearly can be done.

Well we were 12 overs short at the proper scheduled close of play.

Playing the extra 30 mins we always play.
