How about... Whatever the teams run rate for the day is multiplied by overs remaining?

This is what I originally suggested the only issue is when you have different run rates over two different innings

Alternatively you could just start suspending the captains. 1 game for first offence, 2 for second and so on. Cook would soon speed the rates up if he realised he was going to miss the next 2/3 tests through suspension.

If you don't bowl the 15 overs in an hour and or 30 overs in a session, you loose a bowler
for the rest of the innings and the batting side chooses which bowler gets the flick.

Short changing the public from seeing what in theory is one of the nations best bowlers. Feels counter productive

Although I do think this is another commentator-hyped issue like big bats, here goes:

Drinks breaks/glove swaps/etc to be taken at drinks breaks only - 15 overs without a drink or a change of gloves isn't exactly a hardship for a professional batsman! Bowlers can get a drink in down at fine leg like they always have done, drinks at fall of wicket maybe.

5 runs per over short at the end of the innings, with allowances made for delays like long reviews etc.

Bowl the bloody overs! Pretty standard in England at least to see the players walking off in bright sunlight at 6/6.30, why go off if the day isn't finished?

You can say the same about not bowling required overs. Short term pain for long term gain.

There is no reason not to bowl more than 90 overs in a day, my dad went to watch test matches at the SCG
from the late 30's onwards and they were bowling well in excess of a 100 over in a day

Simple....umpires carry a taser gun and zap any fielders not jogging through the overs ! 

[330Mark]

imo any time lost through fall of wicket or anything else outside of the fielding teams purview should be credited back as extra time...and any overs lost per session need to be multiplied by the average run rate.
batting side will encouraged to up their strike rate as an added advantage to the spectator in this situation

In the modern commercialised world you're not every going to see 100+ overs in a day. All the advertising breaks are as important as the cricket to maximise revenue
