Over rate

An over rate is the average number of overs bowled per hour by the bowling team in cricket.[1][2] When calculated by match officials, allowances are made for wickets taken (2 mins per wicket), drinks breaks (4 mins each), UDRS reviews, treatment for injuries, and other reasons,[3] which means the figure is higher than if calculated simply as the number of overs bowled divided by the number of hours of play.

In the highest levels of cricket, bowling sides are expected to achieve a minimum over rate. Bowling teams that have failed to achieve the minimum over rate have had points deducted,[4][5] the players fined,[6] or the captain suspended for future matches.[7] It has been suggested that penalty runs could be imposed.[8]

Minimum levels

In Test cricket, bowling sides are expected to bowl a minimum of 15 overs per hour.[2]

In ODIs, bowling sides are expected to bowl the 50 overs in 3.5 hours, equivalent to a minimum over rate of 14.28 overs per hour.[9]

In T20Is, bowling sides are expected to bowl the 20 overs in 1 hour 25 minutes, equivalent to a minimum over rate of 14.11 overs per hour.[10]

Notable over rate penalties

In the 2017 County Championship, Middlesex were relegated by 1 point after a deduction of 2 points for a slow over rate.[11] The minimum over rate requirement was 16 overs per hour.[5]

gollark: This seems really implausible? The only operation I can see a GPU doing for photos is scaling, for which the algorithms are pretty standard. Text rendering is trickier, though. Fingerprinting based on quirks in that with browser canvases exists, but I doubt this works on a low-resolution paper and it'll not tell you the GPU directly.
