Ben Stokes' Instagram story complaining about England being deducted World Test Championship points for a slow over rate in the first Test against New Zealand in Christchurch.England wrapped up the match in the second session of day four after chasing down the target of 104 in just 12.4 overs.England only bowled 83 overs in six and a half hours of play on day one, as well as bowling 49 overs on day three after commencing New Zealand’s second innings shortly after the lunch break.
Stokes’ side have been repeat offenders when it comes to slow over rates as they lost 19 of the 28 WTC points they earned during last year’s Ashes series for not bowling their overs quickly enough. India , South Africa , Australia and Sri Lanka are all in the hunt and their key personnel regularly speak of the desire to make it to Lords, but not Stokes.
