What is the minimum over rate in a Test match?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
- Over rate is the average number of overs bowled per hour by a bowling team in cricket.
- When calculations are made by Test match officials, allowances are made for wickets taken (2 minutes per wicket), drink breaks (4 minutes each), DRS reviews, treatment of injuries and other reasons.
- Which means the figure is higher if calculated by dividing the number of overs bowled by the number of hours of play.
