India is behind 242 runs till the second day of the third Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy being played at Lord’s and has seven wickets left. The excitement and the quality of cricket were full in the match, but once again an old problem of Test cricket came to light, slow over speed.

Former England captain Michael Won, expressing deep concern over the issue, criticized both teams. He said that this problem is now being seen continuously in modern Test cricket and it should be taken seriously.

Slow over speed

India threw 83 overs on the first day of the match, while on the second day both teams threw only 75 overs, while the Test match is the standard of throwing 90 overs per day. Vaughan said that I don’t think the fine will make any difference. Players are already so rich that it will not affect them.

It is necessary to improve over speed

He said that it is necessary to improve over speed to save Test cricket. If we apply the imperative of throwing 90 overs from day one, then the players will automatically come fast. Vaughan also said that on the fifth day when everyone knows that 90 overs are to be thrown under any circumstances, the game is naturally fast, drinks are low and there is no extra delay.

He suggested that every day this rule should be strictly implemented so that the match remains balance and the audience can also get full experience. Vaughan believes that harsh adherence to the rules can be a permanent solution to this problem.
