Cricket: International Discussion Thread

They've created chances. Take them all and England are 250 all out.

Dropped an absolute beauty in the slip. Ai India doesn't want to win.

Siraj getting frustrated and brook is punishing him badly.

 

[Pegging]

India have a 6 run lead.

Third innings starting soon.

Very entertaining so far.

All three results still on the table.

Reminds me of marnus.

Second hundred in the game for Pant. Out for 118.

 

[Pegging]

England need 371 runs

on 18/0

 

[sand_man]

Doable on this wicket

 

[Agent_Smith]

All 4?

I am drawing a complete blank. Four results? I can only think of three. A draw, England win & India win. What is the fourth? I suppose a tie, as unlikely as that is?

Yep. To me a tie is the same as a draw. But some people disagree.

England have drawn only once in their 36 Tests since Ben Stokes took over as captain, when rain washed away the prospect of a result at Old Trafford in the 2023 Ashes. There is a chance that the weather will play a role on the final day in Leeds, too, but the equation otherwise stands at 350 more runs - or ten wickets - required in 90 overs for a positive result.

Interesting. I Co-Piloted it and got the below

In the entire history of Test cricket (2,550 test matches), there have only been two tied matches:

1. Australia vs West Indies – Brisbane, December 1960.
2. India vs Australia– Chennai, September 1986

A tie in Test cricket is extremely rare and occurs when both teams finish with exactly the same number of runs and the team batting last is all out. This is different from a draw, which is much more common and happens when the match time expires before a result is reached.

So I suppose they do differentiate, but I disregard it as a feasible result based purely on the odds of it happening. Watch me be proved wrong today...

Yeah, but the reult of a draw and a tie are the same in that nobody wins.

They're very different results. In a draw the game didn't "finish", time ran out. In a tie the game finished with the scores level.

So who wins the match?

P.S. I know the difference, I am just saying the result is the same.

Super over! but they call it a Super DAY where both teams get 45overs to bat or 5 wicket to lose each.
