Mark

and an Ashes related question

In the early years of the 20th century, test matches were usually of three days duration. This was extended to four days in the 1930s. In 1938/39, South Africa and England were the teams involved in the concept of a "Timeless Test" in Durban. The teams would play until there was a result. The game was played for 10 days but failed - even then - to reach a conclusion. What stopped the "Timeless Test"?
Rushy

England had to go home.
Simon

Rushy is right that the boat was due to sail to take England home.

Over the 10 days there was only one completed innings.

My question is - Was Fletch playing?
