Some of the greatest battles of them all have been those where one side have been valiantly trying to save the game - and games in Pakistan against England would probably need about 8 days (17 draws out of 22).orangepitch said:i meant 6 day games in the context of prolonged spells of rain interruption...eg. the recent draw between west indies and sri lanka.
maybe there could be a provision for the playing captains to take the field for another exra day in case of a prviously agreed upon period of play lost to rain....![]()

With the amount of cricket played - a rest day is too much now for the schedulers to cope with.orangepitch said:then how about keeping 5 day tests with a rest day in between?......the players would be fresh ( australia allegedly could not bowl out WI in their last innings as they were tired of being in the field so long)
