Is that the one where Javed Miandad decided the game was over one and a half hours early and off they went.There is a lot of England involved here but I guess Rana /Gatting one was a gem !

Strangely, there were no objections among the Somerset boys at the time.Thanks. Very interesting read!
"The TCCB responded by calling an emergency meeting of its disciplinary committee. Eight days after the match, that committee voted to expel Somerset from the competition by 17 votes to one. Even Somerset supported the motion, with Derbyshire, for reasons known only to themselves, the sole opposition to it."
Lol @ Somerset supporting their expulsion from the comp.
Confirmed. You'll struggle to find any drawn Test Matches in Australia prior to World War Two.What's not terribly well-known is that there had been another Test where exactly the same thing happened 9 years previously in the 4th Test, 1930, West Indies v England.
The only two timeless Tests, out of hundreds, which were drawn AFAIK. Sean or Sir Nev, I'm sure, will be able to confirm\deny.
That was Mumbai, but yeah, that finish was pretty dire.as in the state of the pitch when Michael Clarke got 6 wickets
Yeah, most jackass finish to a game. Fortunetly, Chappell didn't last much longer as captain.Surprised this one hasn't been mentioed yet - the 1981 Australia-NZ ODI when Trevor Chappell bowled the last ball underarm.(on his brother's orders of course)? Or on a similar vein, the 1979 B&H cup match when Somerset declared after 1 over?
Already mentioned in the opening post.How about the the one which Pakistan forfieted because of 'ball-tampering'.
Yes, Sabina Park 1998. That was just a farce full-stop though, long before the 1st ball until long after the last.There was one between West Indies and England a few years ago that was abandoned on the first morning because the wicket was deemed too dangerous.
I was seven at the time and remember the game vividly. The phrase 'Rip Snorter' was used on several occasions and watching Walsh and Ambrose bowl on that pitch was a treat. Getting balls to bounce head high off a length and then dart either way off the wicket just looked funny.Yes, Sabina Park 1998.

pretty ******** ! lol !!!Kenya A' s recent tour of Zimbabwe had a game end in rather farcial circumstances as The opponents got taken oof for bad light two runs short of victory in a FC match
Haha. Wasn't funny for the batsmen, at all, though. Atherton and Hussain both talk at length about said game in their autobiographies.I was seven at the time and remember the game vividly.

A gem
Match notes
Bishen Bedi conceded the match in protest against the short pitched bowling tactics of Pakistan. Sarfraz Nawaz's last 4 deliveries were all out of reach of the batsmen, and not called wide by the umpire.
