It's simple, start an hour earlier, then you'll get 90 overs in easily.
Once 90 are bowled, knock off.

No, just no. 6 hours of play at 15 overs an hour was achieved for years and years and there's no reason it can't be done again.

In order of responsibility :

Umpires
Captains
Keepers

Have a word to all of them before the days play and get on with it.

I'd also like to see them return to eight ball overs. That would reduce time spent switching ends a bit.

Why the surprise with the over-rates?

The extra half an hour has been used for years now.
No team works to 6 hours anymore, it's 6.5 and we know it.

Even without the advantage of the pink ball at night, bowling teams slow the game down early and keep the batsmen in the sun and then bowl as many balls as they can at them at the end of the day when their concentration is at its lowest.

Now add in the motivation of the pink ball at night and its safe to say both teams would have done the same.
They got 89 of the 90 in. They were 20 seconds short of getting an extra over in during the second session, with the break being called just as players started to move for the next over.

26:26:38, that's what most bowling teams will aim for on day 1 of a pink ball test.

Great test match batting on display yesterday.
Warner got a little begrudging respect from me. Toughed it out, well done.
The Lab guts it out cause he's a run machine. Well done.
Watching him and Smith batting together is just plain strange.
Will the real Smith tell his gimmick to piss off and just do you knobhead.

Over rates are a joke.
Anderson the Aged pensioner took forever to get through an over.
Plus all the bullshit hold ups.
Just make it 85 overs required in the day or suspend the captain and vc.

THink we should bat as long as possible to take the England win out of the equation.

85 actually, 1936-37 Australia came from 0-2 to win the series 3-2 (well retain after winning them back in 1934).

Having a bloke called Bradman in the side helps!

There were a couple of reviews yesterday, one that lasted for four minutes (which is utterly ridiculous, how can anything be a bad decision when the replay can't even work it out for that long?) Considering this, fair would have been 88 overs by 9.30 an 2 overs over time.
5 seamers, no balls, are just BS excuses.

Also, yesterday wasn't an average day of Test cricket in Australia, ie around 6/280-300, bugger all wickets, bugger all runs, so should the Poms have been expected to bowl their 90 overs in less than 6 hours?

There was the ridiculous situation of the Poms running out drinks 12 minutes before the tea break, and the Aussies are no better.
Time to cut out the current drinks break, and have half it every 45 minutes, and then no other drinks, gloves etc allowed except for genuine injuries.

If the first break of every test is going to be 40 minutes, perhaps the first session should be the 2 1/2 hour one. If the night sessions are going to be used as a tactic, then start half an hour earlier and go 2-9.30 like it has up until this year with the first sessions 2-4.30. The only downside I see is first morning on a Gabba pitch like last week might weigh the result of the toss too heavily towards a side choosing to bowl first.

I hope the Poms are still bowling tomorrow, evening, I'm sure I'll make the most of the extra half an hour sucking down free piss in our box!!! I'm just gonna have to open my innings at 2-3 per hour and block it out a bit then come home in a flurry.

Which would still be quicker than yesterday. First session was a shandy an hour made with light beer.

Purely out of respect for my colleagues I'll ease into it, one of them I call "Shrek", the other one I call "Must Have" and the third bloke I often ask if he is just as tall laying down? And this is when I'm sober, I'd hate to imagine what comes out 8 hours in.

Always good to make a century, but that's one of the luckier ones by Marnus. Dropped twice and played and missed about 25 times.
