Test is the longest and oldest format of cricket game. Usually a Test match lasts for 5 days, but both teams are dismissed before time, then the match can end on the second, third or fourth day. In the recent past, the problem of slow-over rate in red-ball cricket has gained momentum, because the team has been unable to bowl 90 overs in a day. Have you ever noticed the rules of ICC why only 90 overs are thrown in a day. Can bowling be more than 90 overs in a day. Understand the answer to this question in detail here.
If you look at the rules of the Test match, it is mandatory to bowl 90 overs in a day. There are three sessions in a day and each session has a rule to bowl 30 overs. Actually, according to the rules, at least 90 overs have to be thrown in a day, but there is no limit to throw more over. The number of 90 overs a day is seen as a standard. At the same time, during the entire Test match, at least 450 overs have to be thrown within five days, but more overs can also be thrown.
Usually the speed of overs per hour is 13-15 and most teams are not able to complete 90 overs in a day. In such a situation, the problem of slow-over rate is increasing. ICC has also made new rules to deal with this problem. This rule has just been implemented in ODI and T20 that the bowling team will have to start the next over in a span of 60 seconds. If a team is found to be violating this rule thrice in a single match, then he will have to suffer a penalty of five runs.
