Reflexes
- The WTC point deduction can make it difficult for any team to reach the final.
- Dravid said he has no objections to the overpricing rule made by the ICC.
Johannesburg India may have managed to register a great victory at Centurion, but lost a point at the World Test Championship (WTC) due to excessive rate. Now Indian coach Rahul Dravid has made a great statement on this.
India’s head coach Rahul Dravid admitted on Sunday that his team needs to do better after losing a point at the World Test Championship (WTC) due to overpricing in the first round against South Africa at Centurion. However, you feel that in some cases you can relax. Deductions from WTC points if the overstatement is low can make it difficult for any team to reach the final.
England were fined eight WTC points for throwing eight short overs in the Brisbane test against Australia. Dravid said: “The ICC is clearly trying to do something. As a coach it’s annoying and sometimes it seems a bit overwhelming. It motivates us to accelerate overvaluation.
Dravid said he has no objections to the new rule framed by the ICC, but officials must have a thorough understanding of the situations before deducting points. “They have tried to impose fines in the past and it is not working, they used other methods in the past, but that did not work,” he said. ,
“The ICC has now adopted the method of deducting points. It doesn’t bother me. However, according to the circumstances, some relaxation should be given. Last time some of our players got injured. Of course, they gave us some leeway. , but sometimes it doesn’t happen, it’s hard to tell how many minutes you lose.
On areas the team can work on to improve overvaluation, Dravid said: “When Bumrah got injured, the physical therapist had to spend a lot of time going (on the field). There were other problems with changing the ball last time.” . In domestic matches, the role of spinners is greater and, in such a situation, it is not necessary to face this problem.
