I honestly thought 385 might make for an interesting finish, and at 60-0 it looked that way. Shame, really.
You just missed what is known as a Calypso Collapso.Went to clean the car WI 50 odd for none…just switched tv on and wtf
I wonder what the take up was on those free tickets for tomorrow? That turned out to be a lot of time and effort for nothing!

"Hard fought game for three and a half days before ending suddenly" could probably sum up well over 50% of test matches.

they were great games. I still recall(and have mementoes from) our game at Hove v SA in ‘65(I think) - the SA team then had Richards, Barlow, Van de Merve, the Pollocks et al
A couple of years ago I took my dad to the Sussex v New Zealand game at Hove, which was his first ever game of cricket.
I was there in 1966 when Sussex beat the West Indies ( including the great Gary Sobers) by 9 wickets in 2 days.
