Over-rates too slow
Most of the Shell Trophy cricket teams will need to lift their over-rates as the competition progresses if they wish to avoid fines for failing to meet the required average of 18 overs each hour. The over-rate is based on the season’s competition, but only Northern Districts has met the requirement after two rounds. Central Districts averaged 18.28 overs per hour against Wellington, but the umpires’
report on the Central Districts and Otago firstround match at Palmerston North is still awaited by the New Zealand Cricket Council. Otago had the very low average of 14.79 in its match against Auckland. The averages of the four sides for which umpires’ reports have been received are: Northern Districts, 18.78 overs per hour; Wellington, 17.67; Canterbury, 17.27; Auckland 16.51.
