It's worth noting that there were also timeless matches outside Test cricket, such as this one in the 1913-14 Sheffield Shield. Loganberry (Talk) 01:56, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Dispute over whether the first test match was timeless[edit]
"Great complaints were made, too, about the adjournment of the players for lunch. It was said, and very justly too, that commencing so late as one o’clock and not playing after five was little enough time in all conscience to devote to so important a match; but when nearly an hour is deducted from that it becomes really absurd."
This means that the first test match was not timeless 60.240.112.70 (talk) 00:27, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As someone that isn't a expert, or even knowledgeable, in cricket, I was confused by the first line saying "the match is played until one side wins or the match is tied, with theoretically no possibility of a draw", given that in many (most?) sports a "tie" and a "draw" mean the same thing.
I understand on further searching that they have specific meanings in cricket, but perhaps some sort of clarification could be added to the lead to avoid similar confusion for others? 155.190.13.13 (talk) 04:31, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
