Name The Test

[goose]

This isn't a quiz as such - i actually want to know the answer. I think around 25 wickets fell in one day. We got to see a a part of the 1st innings and 4th innings in the same day (or possibly the 3rd innings). Think Eng was hosting West Indies.

One of em in the 2000 test series. Think the one where Caddick blasted out WI in double figures with a five-for and lots of swinging yorkers?

^^ But that's a 2 day test and the third inns started on the second day. http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63891.html

Alright, here is your answer http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/142274.html refer What is the shortest completed Test match?

It is remarkable to note that the Windies declared with a day to play in this test match. http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/62624.html

My father tells me that West Indies were the most sporting when it came to declarations. They always preferred a result either way than a draw.

Yea...my father is a big Windies fan, so is my bro. I know about that famous Sir Gary's declaration match, but this match is a bigger surprise for me, setting 70+ runs to win!? Btw, of the 22 players who had played in the match, I know only Wally Hammond and Sir George Headley (the Black Bradman), my father says he is the best captain to walk on the cricket field EVER.

Hmmm dunno...my overding memory was that we witnessed a part of three team innings on one day.

WI v. Eng in Sabina Park in 98 (I think, w.r.t to the year)

[Tapioca]

WI v. Eng in Sabina Park in 98 (I think' date=' w.r.t to the year)[/quote'] That was the shortest Test match (not completed) but was beaten by the abandoned match at Antigua this year. The shortest decided Test match had 5 1/2 hours of actual play - Australia 153, SA 36 & 45. The pitch was rain affected. http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/14/14160.html

[Mr. Wicket]

Thanks. Figured you;d have the right answer.
