I can't believe I ate the whole thing
While I think Katich should be given some overs, the fact that Ponting hasn't called on him yet (going as far as to use Hussey) indicates to me he probably won't bowl at anytime in the remainder of the series, as I imagine he won't want one of his openers to injure himself bowling.

Can't the match-referee ban the captain of the fielding side if he finds the over-rates unsatisfactory, or do they fine them??

They usually fine, but if it is really bad, then he gets a ban.Can't the match-referee ban the captain of the fielding side if he finds the over-rates unsatisfactory, or do they fine them??
I think recently Paul Collingwood got a ban.

What do over rates have to do with winning?
The greatest bowling attack in history used to slow the game down to snail's pace
The question is whether the bowlers are good enough and unfortunately, whether they bowl 10, 15 or 30 overs an hour, this Australian team has bowled crap

Ponting seems to be worried about it - so much so Lee didn't get a gig bowling in the morning on the 4th day of the Mohali test.They get warned first, pretty sure Nicholas or someone asked Broad and he said it wasn't an issue

Yeah and its not surprising that the only innings in which Clarke didn't bowl was in which he scored a few runs, i think from the very begging it was a poor move to expect the part-time spinners to fulfill the spinning duties, its a ploy that isn't going to work against the Indian batsmen, now since they have White in their as the spinner they need to start giving some respect to him, and use him similar way they would have used any other conventional or better spinner in.

Spot on. Stop obsessing about reverse swing if you can't bowl straight and on a good length 90% of the time.

When the question was put forward to Lee regarding the Ponting-Lee spat, he said it was a case of over rates and a bit of miscommunication. But if you have a more accurate explanation of what happened - please do tell

Neilsen indicated that there was actually much more than just the overrate to that spat.

I must've missed this. What were the exact words that implied this?

But that's not the exact quote though. The headline there makes it sound like he said something sinister whereas all it was is:
"We made a decision to take pace off the ball," Nielsen said. "You don't see Hussey bowl too often. We changed things around because things weren't working for us. The over-rate wasn't crazily out of control: three down at the time. In the end it was a tactical decision."
So it wasn't 'much more then just the overrate to the spat'.
