PENALISING teams by taking runs away from them, or even a football-style yellow card system have been suggested by former England captain Michael Vaughan as ways to cut down the scourge of slow-over rates in Test cricket.
England were criticised at home and abroad for the glacial pace at which they bowled their overs on day four of the third Ashes Test, with captain Alastair Cook clearly delaying the game in the hope that his side would be saved by the local weather.
The current ICC code of conduct does allow for captains to be suspended for one Test or two one-day internationals if they're found guilty twice of a 'serious over-rate offence'.
Sri Lanka skipper Angelo Mathews was banned for two ODIs just a few weeks ago after earning the ire of the ICC for a slow over rate one too many times.
But Vaughan, who admitted most captains have deliberately maintained a slow over rate during a match at some stage, believed umpires and administrators needed to clamp down harder to really make an impact.
"I think run penalties is the way to go," Vaughan said in an exclusive live chat.
"They talk of yellow cards - you can give them a warning, and if he (the captain) gets two yellows then he misses a match.
"If you get a warning at the end of a match, then (next time) you'll just get on with it.
"It needs to affect the game that you're in."
