Title: Timeless Test!
Post by: Howzat on July 14, 2008, 04:14:09 PM

Wow this sounds interesting to say the least! A test match which has no allotted time limit!

England played one of these in South Africa (I think) but had to leave on around the seventh day to catch the boat home.

Would always get a result though Leo. How many people would actually go and watch for however long it would go on for.

I think most player in today's cricket world wouldnt be able to bat for 500 balls or ball 60 overs an innings. And even if the test went on for 7 days, most wouldn't be able to cope up physically.

If it was still around i think teams would be filled with a few more allrounders instead of just batsman and bowlers.
