Hello all!
I am an aspiring Cricket fan from the USA, and I just finished watching the highlights from the 4 game test series between England and South Africa from last December & January.
I have a question: In the second test, the South African Captain declared his 1st innings with 2 runs short of England's total. Now, I understand that there is a "time" constraint in each Test, so my question is: Does a second innings need to be started for a match to "count"? Why did Amla declare like that?
Thanks for any replies!
