Draws in Test Cricket are also fairly rare. In recent years, 75% of matches have ended in four days.

- Someone 11y agoThat's recent because, one could claim, test cricket has suffered from the loss of attention span of "kids these days" (prime example: the Ashes this year consisted of a few slightly lengthened 20/20 games and a ODI, with no test match in sight :-)) In the period from 1950-2000, 40% of games ended in a draw (http://www.espncricinfo.com/blogs/content/story/629608.html http://www.espncricinfo.com/blogs/content/story/629608.html) Also, even 20% is huge for readers from the U.S, where the whole concept of undecided games is rare.
- caf 11y agoThe Ashes was 5 Test matches, as always: Sophia Gardens, Lord's, Edgbaston, Trent Bridge, The Oval.
