Over-rate

The number of overs bowled per hour throughout an innings

In some levels of cricket, the overs must be bowled within a pre-set time (eg 17 overs per hour) Time credit may be given for each wicket taken

In Test Match cricket, the over rate has fallen over the years and is currently as low as 13 overs per hour. ICC have reacted to this rate and now insist that 90 overs are bowled per day - so bowl slow, finish late!!
