Ian Chappell Voices Displeasure Over Slow Pace Of Play In Test Cricket
World Test Championship: Legendary Australia cricketer Ian Chappell has voiced his displeasure over the recent slow pace of play in Test cricket, pointing out why this aspect of the game hasn’t been addressed yet even as discussions are around playing longer format of the game to four instead of five days.
"Discussion is gaining momentum for four-day Tests in the wake of five-day games lasting slightly longer than a 50-over match. There are valid arguments about the increasing costs and for the introduction of four-day Tests, but why isn't the tardy pace of play being addressed?”
"The pace of play in Test cricket is abysmal. It's slowing every day and nothing is being done to improve matters. On the one hand Ben Stokes genuinely strives to improve the entertainment quotient of Test cricket but he's being undermined by the administrators' lack of initiative,” wrote Chappell in his column for ESPNCricinfo.
