Cricket: International Discussion Thread

Not sure where I could check this but when's the last time a test went 5 days?
Or some sort of yearly comparison, like per year what % tests last 5 days, 4 days etc.
Read an article about how fast bowlers are lasting longer cos basically they bowl fewer overs and it got me thinking when last I saw a test go well into the last day but wanted to check if it's just my imagination.

I can never quite figure out that espn cricinfo site but will check it out in the meantime.

Louts. Nice excuse for when you play kak. "We're saving test cricket." They couldn't save their dicks from a wringer.

India up to their old tricks:

Why England will start their innings in Rajkot with five runs on the board

R Ashwin was pulled up for running on the protected area of the pitch on the second morning

My vok!

 

[Neoprod]

There was a cricketer named Duckett
Who went to India and said **** it.

 

[stefan9]

This must be very serious as they can't sub him:

Ashwin withdraws from Rajkot Test because of family emergency

As things stand, India will have to play with only ten men in the remainder of the Rajkot Test if Ashwin doesn't return
