Question

i hate cricket and i know they take a while but im curious

Answer 1

Today almost all international cricket matches ("Test matches") are scheduled over 5 days. The game is planned out in advance so that both sides get an equal chance at scoring and the final score after 3 to 5 days determines the winner. But in the past, some Tests werenot restricted timewise. They were played until their conclusion regardless of how long that took. The longest Test on record took place in Durban, South Africa, in 1939.

The game, between England and South Africa started on 3 March and was scheduled to last for 10 days, allowing for some days that might be missed out for bad weather. Play continued on the 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 13th and the 14th (9 days of play in total, but 12 days in elapsed time). Rain prevented play on the 11th. On the evening of 14 March England were 316 and 654 for 5, while South Africa were 530 and 481. England only needed 42 more runs to win, but England's boat was also due to leave the next day. So although it was supposed to be a 'timeless' Test, a draw was agreed. The score of 654 for England is the highest score (by over 200 runs) ever recorded for a team batting last.

Answer 2

Back in the time when your grandfather walked to school, uphill both ways in 3 feet of snow, test matches were scheduled to play to their conclusion.
The longest cricket match was between South Africa and England in Durban, South Africa and began on March 03, 1939 and continued till March 14, 1939, although they did not play on the 5th, 11th or 12th.
Unfortunately England had to catch a boat home on the 15th so after play on the 14th the match was called a draw and both teams went home.
The world's longest cricket match spanned 43 hours and 16 minutes of playing time in which 1,981 runs were scored.

but today the longest matches are 5 days long so no more 10 day matches .

Answer 3

The pay cheques for one would need at least another 0 or 00 on the end of the dollar value, they would need underarm around waste height to come in as a rule or side arm throwing, the crowd be allowed to keep the ball if it goes for 6 and each fielder to have gloves like the wicket keepers and a lot of body armour in the field, steroids be a legal substance for the bowlers (might have to get Pakistan laws there like for Shoaib Akhtar), time outs allowed between overs, punch ups being allowed on the field and in the coaching boxes. That would be a sample. All you need to do is look how they pad up in the American football compared to the Aussie Rules football. They clearly can't take a hit like the Aussie Rules players, but then again some of it comes down to the American mentality of you can take someone to court and win hundreds of thousands of dollars, if someone lightly and accidentally bumps you on the street. One of these days they will start taking people to court for wrecking a persons line of vision if they drop a set of keys on the floor. That is how pathetic a lot of American society is now a days. Imagine if a person walked behind the sight screen as the bowler was about to bowl. Heck they'd get sued for that.

Answer 4

The longest Test lasted for 10 days in 1938-39. The Durban Test match between South Africa and England was to be played as a timeless Test match and some eleven days later it was still left drawn since England had to begin their two-day rail journey back to their ship at Cape Town.
It still remains the longest ever first-class match of ten days of actual play. The match was abondoned as a draw after 43 hours 16 minutes of actual play.
