Would take at least 4 days, with Dhoni's defensive fields.

Yeah this has happened occasionally in the Shield final which is the most directly comparable case. One side that only needs a draw gets a nice road at home and bats on... and on... and on... and on.
Six days with a proper five-day pitch is good enough IMO. The sixth day being primarily there to just finish things off. Of course, this is predicated on the assumption that you don't want draws....

Nah, Cook and Trott will only watch from the stands Tendulkar going past Lara's 400 against Steyn and co. (and chasing Sehwag's 523 scored earlier in the same match
)

Tell the batsmen that the run rate has to be consistently above 4 or the bomb on the team bus explodes.
Now I reckon finding a way to make sure the rest of the team stay on the team bus while their batsmen are batting at the ground is the tricky part to ensuring the success of this plan.

Elect a panel of judges. The judges give a score for each team each day out of ten; if one team had a slightly better day, they might win 10-9 that day for example. if they had a considerable advantage, 10-8. And so on.
If neither side can knock I mean bowl the other out in five days, the judges determine the winner, so a team who is ahead with at least two judges takes the title.
If the judges scores wind up in a tie, then the team with most sixes wins
If this is a tie, the team with the fastest average delivery wins
If this is a tie, the team supported by the member with the highest post count on CW wins
If this is a tie, whoever Jono wanted to win loses.
Any questions?

20 days and Smith might bowl an over without a single bad ball.
what sort of idiotic idea is this? time limits are an important part of the game taking that away makes it a whole different format. strategies like accelerating the scoring setting defensive fields batting for time are important parts of test cricket and by making it timeless u take away all those important elements of the game. and u take away the most important and unique element of test cricket..the draw.
its totally stupid to take away the time limit to find the 5 day champions. and plus no test can ever be truly timeless don't the 2 final teams have nothing in their schedules for the rest of infinity???
AM I THE ONLY GUY WHO SEES THIS?

An accountants' move imo. How do you make even more cash from selling a five day game to TV? Make it last longer of course.
Beyond that, I don't even see the point of the top 4 playing a mini-tournament anyway. Surely the whole point of being number 1 is that you've proved it over a longish peiod of time. It's all going to be pretty meaningless if the side finishing 3rd or 4th ends up winning the thing because they played well over a handful of matches at the end. On the plus side, I'd love to see Ferguson's face when someone puts it to him that the EPL should be decided like this.

Agree with all as long as the judges are chosen from among the Bollywood item girls through a Dance TV Reality show on Sony TV in India by sms voting only by Indian viewers...
