Saturday is predicted to be clear. Get in, make 300 in two sessions, bowl them out for 80 after tea, then it’s back to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

We’ll look to make up a few of the overs we lost yesterday by starting half an hour early, so about 11 minutes time at 10:30am AEDT, 9:30am local in Queensland. “

dv: Simon Taufel explained the new team penalty for slow over rate

They will be assessed and docked one point per over slow, from points tally counting towards the World Test Championships. They are expected to play at least 15 overs per hour of play.

A couple of things.
1. Do you get points added as well as subtracted and B. I think three minutes + one minute to change overs and set a field is very much on the upper limit and should be closer to the mean.
Then you’ve got to consider time consumed by fall of wicket, time consumed by change of field for left/right hand batting partnerships and lets not forget the fast bowler who’s runup is further than most people go for holidays.
They haven’t thought this trough.

But not as effective as kicking out the captain for a game or two.
