With the amount of overs have been lost so far I think they could potentially look at giving the umpires the power to extend play to make up for the lost overs

Extending play or starting early is fine if you’re watching on telly. It’s not always so good if you’re a paying customer.

They just need some way of making them bowl overs. Enforcing current time wasting rules and awarding penalty runs would be helpful. If the umpires are too soft as shite to do that, and they haven’t looked interested in anything this game, just make them automatic. At the end of every session, five or 10 runs for every over short. They’d suddenly find they could bowl them.
 

Been out this morning but looking in on the scorecard occasionally.

Washington Sundar's prediction that India would easily win by lunch hasn't happened. 😁

They have been talking about this forever.

Easy to talk about getting more overs in the day when you are an administrator who hasn't had dirty whites in decades.

They need to do what they never do. They need to talk to the players, find out what is realistic, and make rules and policy accordingly

Bumrah not that mouthy.

And when you are as good as him, he's entitled to be a bit arrogant anyway.
