Points
deduction
from
the
World
Test
Championship
tally
for
over-rate
offences
could
prove
costly
for
any
team
in
its
bid
to
reach
the
final.
England
were
recently
fined
eight
WTC
points
for
being
eight
overs
short
in
the
Brisbane
Test
against
Australia.
“The
ICC
is
trying
something
obviously.
It
does
feel
harsh
as
a
coach
and
it
does
feel
a
bit
tough
at
times
but
it
certainly
gets
us
thinking,
gets
us
wanting
to
quicken
it
up,”
said
Dravid
ahead
of
the
second
Test
here.
Dravid
said
he
doesn’t
mind
the
new
rule
put
in
place
by
the
ICC
but
officials
must
have
a
full
understanding
of
situations
before
they
decided
to
dock
points.
“They’ve
tried
fines
in
the
past
and
that
doesn’t
seem
to
work,
tried
other
methods
or
methodologies
in
the
past
that
didn’t
seem
to
work,”
he
said.
“The
ICC
is
trying
to
go
down
the
points
route
which
I
am
fine
with…as
long
as
there
is
a
bit
of
leeway
and
bit
of
understanding
when
the
game
is
on.
We
had
a
few
injury
issues
last
time…
of
course,
we
were
given
some
leeways
but
sometimes
it’s
not
exactly,
it’s
difficult
to
pinpoint
how
many
minutes
you
lose.”
Explaining
the
areas
which
the
team
can
work
on
to
get
better
regarding
over
rate,
Dravid
said,
“When
you
have
Bumrah
roll
over
an
ankle
and
the
physios
got
to
go
and
spend
a
lot
of
time
(in
the
middle).
There
were
other
issues
with
the
ball
change
last
time.
“So
you
know
there
were
a
few
small
areas
that
maybe
we
can
get
a
little
bit
better
at
but
as
a
principle,
we
are
fine
with
it,
we
just
need
to
react
and
respond
better.”
The
fact
that
India
are
playing
four
seamers
is
not
helping
their
over
rate,
which
is
not
the
case
when
they
play
at
home
with
spinners
playing
a
much
bigger
role.
