New Zealand vs England - clash of the titans Cricket
Again, the over rate is pathetic.
8 from England
2 for the innings change and just
74 from the Crappers (and this also after an extra half hour)
Match referee has to step in. This shouldn't be allowed.
It was once possible to bowl over 100 in a day without the need for the extra time. Then came Garner, Holding and Co

I drink and I forget things.
Hard to know how best to change the slow over rates. I heard on suggestion, on air, that the bowling side should have their new ball delayed if they aren't meeting the prescribed over rate - that could be worth a go. Fines and WTC point deductions don't appear to have any benefit.Enzedder wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2024 5:47 am Again, the over rate is pathetic.

Penalty runs are tricky to work out. Maybe the bowling side should lose all their reviews if they get more than 4 overs behind the required rate. They could also trim the lunch interval if they need to catch up - not sure the Umps would approve though.
The issue definitely needs to be taken more seriously - it clearly isn't getting any better
Run for every ball not bowled each session. Only thing that will change it. They can bowl at that rate, they choose not to.Ovals wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2024 10:16 amHard to know how best to change the slow over rates.

I quite like that idea, as it's a relatively direct consequence during the match in question.Ovals wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2024 10:16 amHard to know how best to change the slow over rates.

Just out of interest, how much blame do we think the batting team hold for slow run rates? I ask as I recall watching a few bowlers get exasperated with (I think? I might be conflating) Labuschagne who took a fair while to complete his rituals before each delivery. The batsman wasting a minute or two each over in taking guard will start to add up.
Some bats do fanny around a lot - they should be ready when the bowler has returned to his normal mark. Umpires should enforce that.inactionman wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2024 10:24 amI quite like that idea, as it's a relatively direct consequence during the match in question.Ovals wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2024 10:16 amHard to know how best to change the slow over rates.

I think they've lost their line and lengths since then - or been knocked off them by Atkinson - you won't get much swing or seam if you bowl half trackers. Means they've had to go defensive and have no slips, The lead s getting substantial now. Atkinson out for 48 but the damage has been done as the lead is now 97. Carse can bat - averages 31 in 1st class cricket !

Both sides should forfeit WTC points for sure - heaps of cash too please.Paddington Bear wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2024 12:15 amShameful, should probably forfeit the series for that

Yes, I agree, and we should abandon this game, erase it from cricket history completely.Enzedder wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2024 5:43 amBoth sides should forfeit WTC points for sure - heaps of cash too please.Paddington Bear wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2024 12:15 amShameful, should probably forfeit the series for that
As stated in the open post, England are something of a banana skin for the BCs. Another false dawn perhaps for BC supporters.
How's the weather looking in Canterbury, it's pissing down here, only probably is I'm across the ditch, unless we are talking one hell of a weather front. Yes Brits, it does rain in Oz on occasion.
Combination of brilliant batting by the England middle order and shithouse fielding by NZ means this will be done and dusted by Lunch.
On the slow over rates... there have been just 243 overs bowled in the first 3 days. There should've been 270 bowled, so that's 27 overs, or almost an entire session, lost out of 9 scheduled sessions. That's 10% of the game the punters have paid for but not received... so far. Pathetic.
