How many weeks is that? & how many days does a test last for?

 

[minidog]

a test lasts for five days(hopefully from an English point of view)

 

[habo9]

So it takes about 5 weeks , phew!!

Is that not a bit long , Ive watched one day cricket before still didnt really know the rules but I could watch it , but 5 day games!!!

Do you go to the Ashes? I cant get my head round how long its on for , i think I would get bored quite easily of it

Why is it such a big deal , I mean the England vs Australia rivalry how did this come about whats the history?

If you dont mind me asking? :glugglug:

If he'd decimated them he would have taken one wicket.Decimate means to destroy one tenth.

No play on Saturday. The ECB will have to refund all the sold ticket holders.
