Tim Paine reveals disappointment over Australia missing WTC Final due to over-rate penalty, calls for consistency

Australia captain Tim Paine called for consistency when it comes to punishing teams for over-rate breaches, saying he feels disappointed over missing the World Test Championship final due to an over-rate penalty.

Australia captain Tim Paine could not even watch the World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand last month after feeling bitterly disappointed over the over-rate fine that prevented the Baggy Greens from booking a place in the historic final. Tim Paine conceded that Australia were not able to complete their overs on time in the Gabba Test against India but called for consistency in over-rate penalties, saying he hasn't seen many teams paying the price for lagging behind in over-rate.
