| England v Australia: Over Rates As I promised to post this information earlier in the summer, I will do so, even though it is arguaby irrelevant in the case of a match in which a result is obtained.
Both England and Australia fell well short of the required over rate in this first test match, with Australia taking 4'40" per over and England 4'44". In a six and a half hour day, that would have England delivering 82 overs, robbing the paying public of eight, and Australia delivering 83 overs, which is hardly better.
I'll update this as the series progresses.
