It is a @##$$# ridiculous situation made all the worse because the whole limited number of over thing was only introduced so that the paying spectator wasnt short-changed

Given that there is no crowd and the game has effectively been ruined, this makes no sense whatsoever
Yeah, and any fee paying spectator would rather watch 8 overs of Brett Lee rather than 12 from Hussey and Clarke.

I dont think this benefits the fans at all.

Rules ruining the cricket here. I know we want faster overrates but ****, banning the captain? Over the line, really need to scrap that one and quick.

Trying to make myself believe there is something more sinister than a fine or a 1 match ban to this. Otherwise, Ricky :(

Thats the law its happened to collingwood. Ponting should take it on the chin. Its NZ no offence. Bring in Hodge and let Clarke captain. not too hard. Suck it down ponting u just lost the trophy.

You reckon? This has been such an embarrassment, I can't see the Aussie press standing behind Ponting and, in fact, think they'll ream him.

I dunno why people are pissing at overrates. It is the resp of captain to ensure that the bowling side bowls 90 overs in 6.5 hours. Don't blame the rules for Ponting's stupidity.

But the law doesn't make sense, if we (the viewer) actually want him to break it then does it?
