Force the pace, ICC
On sport24.co.za, Rob Houwing is appalled by Bangladesh's slow over-rate on the first day of the first Test against South Africa in Bloemfontein.
Isn’t it high time the ICC finally put its hitherto lethargic foot down?
I believe the solution is for the umpires to more forcefully police, hour by hour, the over rate and insist on a minimum of 14 for each one – and if that is not met, then how about adding 20 or 25 penalty runs on each offending occasion to the batting team’s extras tally?
