Former Australia captain Ian Chappell thinks that the image of Test cricket can be further improved should the administrator stop being lenient on over rates.
Chappell thinks that a captain should be held responsible for his/her team’s slow over rate and be suspended should they be found guilty of exceeding the time limit.
“The administrators could make some compromises and demand that players bowl 90 overs in six hours with no deductions accepted. A captain should be suspended without question if this aim isn’t achieved," he said.
He then suggested few changes that could help speed up the process.
“There are many areas for compromise. The administrators could abolish advertising on sightboards, the replaying of possible boundaries, reduce the constant ferrying of drinks and gloves, and eradicate needless mid-pitch chats during overs," he wrote.
